On 4–5 November, the IZWT hosted an international workshop on Science, Values, and Institutions, organized by Anna Leuschner in cooperation with Kevin Elliott (Michigan State University).
As an increasing number of approaches in socially engaged philosophy of science draw on the concept of institutions, the workshop aimed to analyze this concept in greater depth and to explore which types of institutions are particularly relevant to the current challenges at the intersection of science and democracy.
In an interdisciplinary group of historians and philosophers, participants discussed how institutions (should) shape the relationship between science and society, as well as the management of values in scientific practice.
