On 29 September 2023, the Researchers’ Night was organised again with entertaining and inspiring lectures, experiments, lab tours and other playful activities, through which the participants were able to learn about the latest scientific results. The event involved 146 organisers and nearly 2,500 activities in 200 locations across the country.
This included presentations held by our collegaues from Africa Research Institute:
- Prof. Dr. János Besenyő, Head of the Institute, in his lecture “ILLEGAL MIGRATION TO EUROPE IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN”, addressed the issue of illegal migration in the Western Mediterranean, and a special focus was given to Spain.
- In his presentation “DATA COLONIALISM IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE”, doctoral student Richard Schneider discussed on the one hand how digital transformation and the development of AI-powered tools have become key domains of international power competition and rivalry. On the other hand, the lecture systematically analysed the theory of data colonialism, and brought practical examples and field experiences from the context of the Chinese “One Belt, One Road” foreign policy strategy, the United Nations, and Africa.
Congratulation to all the organisers, presenters and participants!
