Countdown to European Researchers' Night 18 November 2020

CUBO in collaboration with the University of Bologna presents a reflection on the health
emergency that we are experiencing and which has led to major changes in society and in our lifestyle,
revolutionising our personal and working relationships, the way we access information and
services, our interests, our way of enjoying our free time and culture.
The event includes a workshop dedicated to youngsters and a round table.
Countdown to European Researchers’ Night is the series of events and meetings that precedes European Researchers’ Night,
the initiative promoted by the European Commission since 2005 which every year involves
thousands of researchers and research institutes from all European countries

SCIENCE AND (PSEUDO) SCIENCE: GETTING TO GRIPS…WITH PHILOSOPHY

• Wednesday 18 November 2020 at 15:30

**Workshop dedicated to 16 to 18-year-olds**.
Guided by researchers from the University of Bologna, secondary school students will perform logical-critical, ethical and creative thought exercises during practical philosophy sessions. They will address questions relating to the nature of science, in particular how it differs from pseudo-science, examining the role each one plays in modern society. Beginning with readings of classic texts, collective solutions will be identified for contemporary problems. This activity will be managed by the **AION** research group of the Department of Philosophy and Communication of the University of Bologna.
