Science and technology are an essential foundation of an industrial society. What is their relationship to our values? Real or perceived hazards often dominate public perception: from microplastics to plasticisers, from glyphosate to antibiotic residues. Is modern civilisation too risky? Is it even an opponent of morality? Or can ethics and knowledge follow a joint path, and knowledge and values work together? Our experts discuss knowledge and values and their importance for science and society. The event will be moderated by Jan-Martin Wiarda. The BfR knowledge dialogue is part of the Berlin Science Week 2024. A simultaneous German/English interpretation as well as live streaming are offered.
