Studium Generale & YAG | Table Thoughts and Flash Talks at Noorderzon

What is the difference between dreaming and hallucinating? If a self-driving car crashes, who’s responsible? To what extent should the government be allowed to intervene in alcohol consumption? This year at Noorderzon, Studium Generale and Young Academy Groningen are joining forces for a series of short lectures and public discussions. For five days, scientists will share their research in flash lectures, after which you can engage in a conversation with them during roundtable discussions.

Flash talks 
Enthusiastic scientists from the University of Groningen will discuss a wide variety of topics in Noorderzon’s shortest lectures. Put on headphones and listen to their unique and surprising research. 

Dates and times:
Tuesday 25 until 29 August at 4, 4:30, 5:00 and 5:40 pm

Table Thoughts
Join researchers at the table to discuss the questions of the day. After the flash talks, you can join a scientist for a brief conversation. A place to talk, question, discuss, and exchange ideas together. Write or draw your thoughts, comments, and ideas on the tablecloth, which will be displayed on the Line of Thought, where everything discussed at the table becomes visible. 

Dates and times:
Tuesday 25, Thursday 27 and Friday 28 August continuously from 4-6 pm.

In collaboration with Young Academy Groningen.
