The American company Oracle and Lebanon’s Minister of State for Technology and Artificial Intelligence, Kamal Shehadeh, recently signed an undisclosed but strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) to train 50,000 people from the private and public sector in different technologies.
While the agreement was framed as a “free grant” to suggest an achievement for the ministry, it comes with its own set of unique challenges to Lebanon’s digital sovereignty.
Röntgen war der erste von insgesamt 14 Wissenschaftlern, die an der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) geforscht oder gelehrt haben und mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet wurden. Ihre Leistungen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Ausstellung „Ausgezeichnet! 14 Würzburger Nobelpreisträger – geniale Köpfe, die die Welt veränderten“, die 2026 an mehreren öffentlich zugänglichen Orten in Würzburg zu sehen ist.
Webseiten von Behörden, Mitteilungen der Bank oder Briefe von der Versicherung sind bisweilen kompliziert geschrieben. Und zwar so kompliziert, dass selbst gut gebildete Menschen mit Deutsch als Muttersprache den Inhalt schwer oder gar nicht verstehen.
Wie muss es da erst den sechs Millionen Menschen in Deutschland gehen, die dringend auf eine leicht verständliche Sprache angewiesen sind? Menschen zum Beispiel, die Deutsch als Fremdsprache lernen, die kognitiv eingeschränkt sind oder Lernschwierigkeiten haben.

In this context, researchers do not always encounter receptive audiences, particularly when they engage with socially contentious issues such as climate change, migration, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, vaccinations, the energy transition, or the fundamental principles of liberal democracy.
