Science and Borders – how Ideas migrate

Alexander von Humboldt was a world traveler and a cosmopolitan. He was globally connected and was in constant communication with researchers and politicians throughout the world. He had especially close links to Great Britain, and visited the country many times. But he was unable to make his planned expedition to India – he was refused entry to the British colony.
Academics from Great Britain and Germany will be discussing the challenges currently being faced by researchers against the background of newly emerging borders on the one hand and growing mobility of people and ideas on the other.
