Economisering van universiteit en wetenschap

CONFERENCE
'Truth or profit? On the Commodification of University and Science' / Wahrheit oder Gewinn? Über die Ökonomisierung von Universität und Wissenschaft

Date: 26. nov. 2009, 11.00 – 27 nov. 2009, 18.30
Location: Goethe-Institut Amsterdam, Herengracht 470, NL-1017 CA Amsterdam

Since a couple of decades university and science have without doubt been exposed to an increasing pressure of commodification. The discussion about sense and nonsense of this commodification is under way. It seems that the resistance of those who are concerned first and foremost, the scholars, increases with the progress of the commodification process. At any rate, a differentiated evaluation is highly required and without science being able to duly present arguments, such an evaluation has to fail. The Humboldt colloquium Wahrheit oder Gewinn? Über die Ökonomisierung von Universität und Wissenschaft / Truth or profit? On the Commodification of University and Science offers a platform for internationally renowned scholars to present and discuss their ideas on the subject matter.
