"Interdisciplinary Forum: Peace & Sustainability"
The lecture series in the summer term 2021, fostered a debate on the topics of sustainability and peace research from different disciplinary perspectives to create a broad interdisciplinary dialogue on issues of scientific and public relevance. We provided an first overview about the diversity of research in the fields of sustainability and peace research at the University of Cologne in the larger context of current social, ecological and economic trends.
