18 academics from all of Stockholm’s higher education institutions on stage together for the first time
For the first time ever, academics from all 18 universities in Stockholm are gathered on the same stage. On the 23rd of September, Stockholm Explorative Talks will take place in the Royal Hall at KMH, Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
The 18 academics have not been able to prepare in advance. They do not know what subjects are going to be discussed or who they are going to share the stage with.
The aim is to discuss future global challenges from new perspectives that extend past the traditional academic boundaries.
”We want to show the fantastic versatility that exists within academia in Stockholm and underline the crucial role that academics play in finding solutions for global challenges,” says Maria Fogelström Kylberg, CEO of Stockholms Akademiska Forum who is arranging and are behind the initiative of Stockholm Explorative Talks.
Stockholm Explorative Talks has been arranged on stage two times before, then as a collaboration with the Nobel Center and a part of the official Nobel Calling program. However, this is the first time where all of the universities in Stockholm are represented.
”It’s in the spontaneous meeting between academics from different disciplines that interesting discussions arise. The idea behind Stockholm Explorative Talks is that academics has a lot to contribute, also outside of their field of expertise. The global challenges that we face are cross-boundary, which is why we need cross-boundary solutions,” says Maria Fogelström Kylberg.
The event is split up into two sessions between nine academic per session. The discussion will be led by Elisabeth Ericson and Gustav Borgefalk, and will be live-streamed.
