Democratic societies rely on fact-based world views and science, but also on narratives that can bring together large, diverse communities. At a time when democracies are straining to cope with ongoing crises and long-term existential challenges this topic is more important than ever. 2024 is also a major election year, when many political parties in democratic countries across the world will be promoting their visions for the future and progress.
Nobel Prize laureates, scientists, journalists and Al experts will meet to discuss how to protect evidence-based knowledge as a way of valuing democracy. The dialogue offers possibilities for media to be part of the audience at this evening event at Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and conduct interviews with laureates and speakers.
Speakers include Nobel Prize laureates Ben Feringa, Paul Nurse and Maria Ressa, Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of Center for Civil Liberties, recipient of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize as well as other experts such as Demis Hassabis, CEO DeepMind, and European Research Council grantees Michael Bruter, Emilie Caspar and Stefania Milan.
