Have you ever wondered about the concepts of Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics? In this lecture series of ten 1-hour lectures, given on five evenings, we will discuss the fundamental concepts of these intriguing physics theories in depth, but without having to go through intricate mathematics derivations.
Via the physics of antimatter and the Higgs particle, we address the question: How can it be that a universe filled with matter exists in the first place? Be prepared to learn that the relativistic quantum world is fundamentally different to the macroscopic world we are used to.
Human Rights | Lecture Series
THU 11, 18, 25 SEP, AND 2 AND 9 OCT – 19:30 TO 21:30

Human Rights is a topic that is constantly on the agenda. We keep hoping things will change for the better, but atrocities are daily news. Uprisings and big political changes can lead to better human rights conditions, but also to war and crimes against humanity. This series of lectures will explore the significance of human rights in a globalising world. The lectures will demonstrate how human rights are increasingly becoming an instrument with which to challenge the negative side effects of globalisation.
