AFES-PRESS Brainstorming in Mosbach

‘Politik’ in and for the Anthropocene:
Obstacles, Challenges, Opportunities and Tasks

for the Social Sciences in the 21st Century

Note

 

The brainstorming took place at the AFES-PRESS library in Mosbach (Germany) on 31 May 2017, on the eve of Hans Günter Brauch’s 70th birthday. The videos and podcasts were first made available only for the participants and for the authors of the volume to emerge from this one day brainstorming. Upon publication of the book these videos can be approached directly from the electronic versions of the book by hyperlinks to allow the reader.

A special video (in German) on the signing of the Golden Book of the town of Mosbach by Nobel Laureate Prof. Dr. Paul J. Crutzen may be accessed here. <Video: Crutzen_Golden Book>. A report by Heiko Schattauer, Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung, Mosbach, published on 1 June 2017 is available here.

Selected photos from the Brainstorming and with the honorary guest, Nobel Laureate Prof. Dr. Paul J. Crutzen, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Main (Germany), may be accessed and downloaded here. <Photos, Brainstorming, 31 May 2017>
