On October 24, Michael Ignatieff, Rector of the Central European University in Budapest, and WU-Rector Edeltraud Hanappi-Egger reflect on the role of universities in today's societies

Universities are challenged to redefine their role in society today: They have to assert academic freedom and the status of science in society and, in some cases, deal with overt political attacks.

On Tuesday, October 24, 2017, WU Rector Edeltraud Hanappi-Egger and Central European University Rector Michael Ignatieff will talk about the role, functions, responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities of universities today. The discussion will be moderated by Sebastian Loudon from the German weekly ‘Die Zeit.’

The discussion is in English!
