CSH President Stefan Thurner will chair a discussion panel at this year’s Alpbach Technological Forum, titled “Complexity and the new Enlightenment.”

 

Abstract:

 

Humanity is increasingly interconnected and the planet is becoming ever harder to maintain as a stable place for our species. Increased complexity offers both tremendous potential and threat to our survival. Does this mean that we are heading for a new era of self-inflicted immaturity? In this panel we want to discuss if science can offer strategies to avoid new dangers and what science can contribute to the “New Enlightenment”.
