The Economics Student Association (Wasti e.V.) invites you to a Wasti Talk with Dean Professor Waldinger on the topic

“Research Between Freedom and Control – Democracy, Dictatorship, and Scientific Discoveries.”

In this Wasti Talk, Prof. Waldinger will explore how different political systems shape scientific research and innovation.

The talk will examine how political institutions influence academic freedom, where government control can hinder innovation, and under what circumstances it may paradoxically foster scientific breakthroughs.
