The corona crisis shows that people, science and politics perceive (health) risks very differently. The spectrum of individual and communicated perception ranges from panic fear to stoic serenity. In this panel we want to discuss the topic of risk and decision in an interdisciplinary manner, with a view to the future. How can we enable people to correctly assess risks? Which risks do we accept - and which not? How can society and the associated politics deal with risks in the future? Our guests bring a philosophical-historical, psychological and economic perspective.
