The University of Augsburg is once again participating in the Public Climate School from the 4th to the 8th of November 2024. During the PCS week, research institutes from around Germany open their doors to the public in an effort to provide sound scientific knowledge about the climate crisis. In Augsburg, simulation games, lectures, film screenings, and other interactive events will take place.

This was the question of a semi-plenary Roundtable on the first day of the 29^th (tri-annual) Conference of the German Political Science Association (DVPW). Prof. Dr. Angela Oels was one of the panelists and replied that scientists need to take a strong science-based stand.
