The theme of the second seminar is open and free academic dialogue. Good academic dialogue is an essential part of the University's core activities and is equally relevant in education and research. It is a critical yet respectful exchange of ideas characterised by curiosity, openness and tolerance for different views. Good dialogue can require the courage to bring forward perspectives other than the dominant ones. What are the barriers to good academic dialogue within and outside the university? How can these barriers be overcome? What can be done to support researchers, teachers and students to engage in academic dialogue and to feel supported by the institution to do so? How can open and free academic dialogue be strengthened and promoted in education and research?
