How does childhood influence our relationships? How do we protect ourselves from cyber attacks? What does digitalisation mean for employees over 50? And how did Loriot reshape German humour? This year, researchers from the University of Wuppertal will once again be giving understandable insights into current topics at the university lecture series and showing how scientific findings shape our everyday lives.
