          Academic Freedom and Democracy

          UiO's Honorary Doctor Sjur Bergan has been a driving force for over 30 years, contributing groundbreaking work to help us better understand the interplay between academic freedom and the conditions necessary for viable democratic societies.

          Today, this interplay is more important than ever.

          The seminar opens with a broader European perspective on academic freedom, where the conditions for, and initiatives to protect this freedom will be illuminated through brief lectures by Prof.

          Peter Maassen (UiO) and Jan Palmowski, Secretary-General, The Guild.

          Two different panels will then discuss the potential consequences of international developments for policy and practice in this field. The first panel focuses on how vital academic freedom is for general societal development and democracy at large.

          The second panel will then reflect on how the protection of academic freedom can be strengthened in Norway, Europe, and globally.
