The CONVOCO! Forum “Is the Open Society Sustainable in Case of Emergency?” takes place on July 29.
We are currently experiencing several crises on both a global and national level. Adam Tooze popularized the term polycrisis. Convoco wants to suggest that the phase of crises is behind us. Instead, we have reached the stage of emergency.
What this means for our institutions and systems, and whether the open society will prove resilient, will be discussed by:
