#CoronaDialog

Has the coronavirus crisis robbed the people of Upper Lusatia of their trust in science?

Despite high incidence figures, especially in eastern Saxony, many citizens are questioning scientific findings and the resulting political decisions.

We ask ourselves: Has the corona crisis made people in Upper Lusatia lose faith in science?

Why do large sections of the population not believe scientific findings? How does science work at all? How are political decisions based on scientific findings? How can science and society come together again?

We want to discuss these questions at our online dialog events as part of the transfer project Saxony5 under the name "#coronadialog - Who can you still believe?" together with scientists from the HSZG, politicians and the citizens of the district of Görlitz and all other interested parties.
