Dialogues on Social Innovation (DSI)
The Dialogues on Social Innovation (DSI) aim to provide a platform to debate the importance of different scientific disciplines and institutions in shaping our understanding of the world. In particular, we aim to highlight the contributions of the Humanities and Social Sciences to assess and reflect processes of social innovation. Each talk will be animated by contributions from two scholars and will leave sufficient time for debate. Scholars from Egypt and Germany will present new developments in specific disciplines and institutions. DSI are jointly organised by the Cairo offices of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Freie Universität Berlin, and the Orient-Institute Beirut (OIB). DSI are open to students, researchers, and the wider public. Light refreshments are served after the talks to continue the debate in a more convivial setting.
If you are interested in receiving invitation to our DSI, please send us an email stating your full name, position and affiliated institution: cairo@zedat.fu-berlin.de
