The Jena Meeting:<\/strong> Understanding the Global Age
May 12-14, 2011<\/h2>\n

Sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture the IYGU Steering Committee, the Scientific Committee and the Outreach Committee gathered in Jena to establish the final program and the key steps of its implementation, just in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster. According to the IYGU program, natural and social scientists, as well as scholars from the humanities have to make people understand that most such events are social rather than natural disasters formed one of the departure points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First and foremost, they are the outcome of inadequate knowledge and actions, and the consequences of actions. Such events demonstrate that we need to better integrate natural and social-scientific research, as well as insights from cultural sciences and the humanities. This has been fixed as one of the main goals of the IGU Initiative for an International Year of Global Understanding in the age of global change.<\/p>\n
