SKU: BWD2026

“In the thicket of opinions – who determines what we think?” On this topic, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) is organising a new event on 10 December 2026 as part of its “Knowledge dialogues” series.

Description

Details

People today are surrounded by a multitude of opinion-shapers: science, social media, ‘traditional’ media, NGOs, politics, business and advertising, AI … How are people supposed to find their bearings? How can we encourage people not to believe everything and to recognise misinformation or even manipulation (e.g. through AI)? Are our emotions a good guide, or do they also lead us astray? Is there ONE truth? The dialogue aims to explore how one can find one’s way through the thicket of opinions. 

More information on the event will be available soon.
