Mens filosofien har utforsket temaet bevissthet i flere tusen år, har den empiriske vitenskapen først skutt fart de siste tiårene. Men hva har vi egentlig funnet ut om den indre opplevelsen vi alle har av verden? Vi inviterer til en serie foredrag som fokuserer på hvordan vi forsker empirisk på bevissthet, hva vi har funnet ut, og hvor veien går videre.

Using COVID-19 as an example, we focus on the role of life sciences in understanding and solving global societal challenges. What experiences have we gained one year after the pandemic started? Which research projects are implemented within the life sciences to prevent new pandemics in the future? What measures can we take to be prepared for a new global pandemic? And what efforts are taken to stop the COVID-19 pandemic globally?

Ved å bruke covid-19 som eksempel, fokuserer vi på livsvitenskapens rolle i å forstå og løse globale samfunnsutfordringer. Hvilke erfaringer har vi høstet ett år etter at pandemien startet? Hva forsker livsvitenskapforskere på for å forhindre nye pandemier? Hvilke tiltak kan vi gjøre for å være beredt på en ny global pandemi? Og hva gjøres for å stoppe covid-19-pandemien globalt?

Planter har i tusener av år blitt benyttet for å behandle humane sykdommer i nordiske land, men kunnskapen om hvilke planter som ble brukt er imidlertid i fare for å gå tapt. Vår interdisiplinære forskningsgruppe ønsker å gjenoppdage denne kunnskapen ved bruk av nordiske tekster og arkeologiske undersøkelser.
