1. Tobias Kretschmer, Professor of Business Studies, will present a course that deals with the fields of Strategy, Technology and Organization,
2. Barbara Conradt, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, will set out to answer the question of why cells die, and how one can study the scientific basis of the phenomenon,
3. Humboldt Professors Stephan Hartmann and Hannes Leitgeb tackle an issue that is at the heart of current approaches to the philosophy of science,
