This week has seen an important step towards the integration of the member universities of the EUTOPIA alliance, one of the pilot projects of the European Universities Initiative driven by the European Commission.
During EUTOPIA Week, held in person in Barcelona from 22 to 26 November, a mobility agreement was signed between the alliance’s six founding universities: the University of Warwick, Pompeu Fabra University, CY Cergy Paris University, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, University of Gothenburg, and Univerza v Ljubljani.
S Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani so me povabili, da bi kot zunanji predavatelj honorarno sodeloval pri izvedbi predmeta Sociologija vednosti in znanosti. Čeprav bi bil za takšno delo menda zelo slabo plačan, sem ponudbo z veseljem sprejel, saj se s proučevanjem vloge znanosti v družbi že vrsto let dokaj intenzivno ukvarjam. Pripravljanje predavanj bi navezal na pisanje knjige o najrazličnejših izzivih, s katerimi se trenutno srečuje znanost pri nas in v svetu.
