Air is omnipresent, vital, yet intangible - a central element that connects us and yet often goes unnoticed.
The lecture series aims to highlight the multi-layered importance of air in science, society and the environment. Experts from TU Dresden and the DRESDEN-concept science alliance will shed light on the diverse issues surrounding the topic of air from the perspective of various scientific and cultural disciplines.
The interdisciplinary topic of air is currently being explored in the exhibition "Air. One for All" at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden. https://www.dhmd.de/ausstellungen/luft
The lecture series takes place as part of the studium generale and is open to all interested parties. For students, 3 credits can be acquired as proof of performance and 1 credit as a certificate of attendance.
