Research, worldviews and the search for truth

“The truth will set you free” is inscribed on the Collegiate Building I at the University of Freiburg. But what does it really mean? These questions and many more will be posed during the Day of Diversity. Under the motto “Science, worldviews and the search for truth,” the participants will discuss religion and diversity, truth and science as well as their real or supposed connections, similarities and contrasts. The Day of Diversity serves to make the existing diversity at the University visible, to address questions and challenges and to develop measures for a good, productive handling of diversity.
