Speed dating 12 x 12

While other guests will continue their discussions over tea and strudel, 12 politicians will have an opportunity to discuss shortly with 12 scientists. Speed dating is a non-traditional way of making acquaintance. In the form of short (several minute) dialogues one-on-one 12 politicians will have an opportunity to “make their acquaintance” with 12 scientists of various ages and specialisations. The topic of discussion is purely up to them.

In addition to the participants in the Science – Politics – Public debate, these scientists will take part in speed dating:

Jakub Dostálek (1976)
physicists, Austrian Institute of Technology, Austria

Pavel Himl (1971)
historian, Faculty of Humanities, Charles University in Prague
