What kind of social and technological challenges will become our future working world? What is the responsibility of science in a crisis? How can the added value of entrepreneurial action be made more transparent and more valuable? These questions and many more are the topics of the 4th Congress of “Fortschritt Gestalten NRW” taking place in Düsseldorf.
