openScience-01

The Directorate F - Emerging Technologies and Infrastructures is organizing a series of consultations for the preparation of Horizon 2020, the new Framework Program for research funding.  I was invited to participate also in the Rome event about  "open Infrastructures for open science".

I Verdi e i conservativi

 Die Gruenen haben mit den Konservativen eine klare gemeinsame Grundeinstellung: die Welt ist schlecht. Der Unterschied ist, dass die Konservativen, dass als eine vorsichtige Basiseinschaetzung sehen, waehrend die Gruenen die Welt schlecht sehen durch die Moderne.. wenn man ab Abgrund steht, ist jeder Schritt vorwaerts...  aber daraus resultiert durchaus aehnliche Politik.
