Science Outreach. Globalization

3 December 2007
14.20 - 16.00
Room: 
Ambassadeur
BACKGROUND

The world is becoming a local society. A European client may have dialled a local phone number and be connected to a call center based in India, which operates as the help desk of an American firm. In our daily meals, we combine the food of all continents. Environmental problems may also be linked to "global" change. Colonization of a foreign country does no longer require the physical presence of soldiers, and the victim of injustice may often be far away and invisible.
