Big Science is in this case not the opposite of small science, but big challenges, which can only be addressed in scientific cooperation across boarders and disciplines. Especially when science addresses topics such as the climate crisis and intervention - e.g. energy transition, geoscience, ocean alliance and polar research or the next pandemic. In some areas and aspects the world might have gotten smaller on a geopolitical perspective, but the reality is, that no one can afford an 'us vs. them approach'.
The second Transatlantic Big Science Conference takes place from June 27th - 28th, 2024 in Berlin. Questions such as "How can we build resilient structures in science, society and innovation?", "How can we best nurture and train a diverse new generation of scientists and innovators?" or "How can we overcome barriers to international collaboration and support global scientific diplomacy?" will be addressed and looked into. Simone Menne, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany stresses the importance of scientific collaboration for development and a prosperous society.
