© aau/Christina SupanzWhat we do in this country has an impact on the lives of people in other parts of the world. This is the central idea behind the concept of global citizenship. Hans Karl Peterlini has held the UNESCO Chair in Global Citizenship Education since 2020 and is committed to bringing about change, both on the individual and the collective level, to achieve a ‘good life for all’. This chair has just been awarded to him and the University of Klagenfurt for another four years.

By Armin Medosch,
This book is a message in a bottle that washed ashore ten years after it was sent. Armin Medosch began documenting self-managed local networking initiatives with his book Freie Netze published in the German language in 2004. He iteratively developed The Rise of the Network Commons in draft chapters published on his website, The Next Layer, from 2013 until 2015, before his death in 2017.

In recent years, the European Union (EU) has taken major steps to shape the future of digital regulation. At the heart of this regulatory change there are two key pieces of legislation: the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) and the Digital Services Act Package. In the following analysis, I will examine the definition and operationalisation of systemic risk by the Digital Services Act (DSA) and AIA, with an emphasis on the implications for media freedom, pluralism, and disinformation regulation.

Ein Forschungsteam am Biozentrum der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) hat zusammen mit Kooperationspartnern am Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK) einen bedeutenden Schritt zum Verständnis von Wilms-Tumoren, bösartigen Nierentumoren bei Kleinkindern, gemacht. Mithilfe der Proben der Wilms-Tumor-Biobank konnte das Team die erbliche Veranlagung (Prädisposition) für Wilms-Tumoren an einer großen Stichprobe systematisch entschlüsseln.

Jetzt steht es fest: Die Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) konnte sich bei der Exzellenzstrategie mit zwei Cluster-Initiativen durchsetzen. Bei der Exzellenzstrategie handelt es sich um ein hoch kompetitives Förderprogramm von Bund und Ländern für wissenschaftliche Spitzenleistungen. Einen Zuschlag gab es für das neue Forschungsprojekt NUCLEATE und die Fortsetzung des Exzellenzclusters ctd.qmat. Die Cluster zur Nukleinsäureforschung und zur Quantenphysik sind damit zwei von 70, die es aus insgesamt 98 Vollanträgen bis zur Förderung geschafft haben.

Innovation continues to evolve at great speed, yet investment in and meaningful action to address healthcare challenges remains fragmented and is decreasing. The AI revolution comes at a time of acute political polarization and dramatic scaling back of funding for development programmes that support some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. Crucial decisions relating to regulation, ethical frameworks and governance structures will shape how both digital health and AI continues to develop and will have long-term repercussions.
