We probably all know this feeling and have said it countless times: “I have no time!” But why do we have the impression that we have less and less time, despite having gained more thanks to technological progress? Has our perception of time changed? Where does this acceleration come from? What impact does the acceleration of society have on our social relationships, our family life and the way we work together each day? And is there anything we can or should learn in order to cope with acceleration?
Whether it's a short visit or lingering until the last sip of coffee: take the time to be part of an inspiring afternoon.
Our guest:
Prof. Dr. Hartmut Rosa is one of the most renowned sociologists of our time. His books Acceleration and Resonance have not only attracted international attention, but have also reached a wide audience. Rosa teaches and researches at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany, and is Director of the Max Weber College at the University of Erfurt.

From Insight to Impact – Leadership perspectives on Lifelong Learning and Team Success
Join us for an enlightening panel featuring leaders from industry, sports, academia, and the public sector as they explore how lifelong learning drives individual and team success, and the potential barriers we must overcome.
Maintaining a productive learning culture is the responsibility of team leaders – or is it? How can leaders and team members alike nurture a culture that celebrates curiosity and lifelong learning for everyone? Are there barriers that we have to overcome to create such environments? How crucial is lifelong learning for an organisation or company as a whole? Does learning in a professional football team, for instance, differ from the learning in other types of teams? And what does our former president of the COVID taskforce think about learning in both academic settings and within society at large?
These topics and other interesting questions will be discussed by our panelists. Towards the end of the session, audience members will briefly discuss ideas about integrating lifelong learning at ETH and then listen to final insights from our panelists.
Whether you lead or you are led – this session gives you the chance to voice your thoughts and ideas about lifelong learning at ETH.

Learning and working in the age of digitalization – the good, the bad and the ugly.
Join us for an engaging, thought-provoking and timely talk by Prof. Dr. Martin Korte, neurobiologist and author, where he examines the effects of digital overstimulation on the brain and provides practical strategies for addressing it.
The mobile phone rings, the smart watch beeps and the reminder for the next meeting pops up on our desktop. And while we answer an urgent e-mail and confirm today’s lunch with a peer via chat, we scroll through our social media account and think about where to spend our next holiday.
Digital overstimulation is without doubt a huge challenge for our society. But how does digital media impact our brains? Are there beneficial impacts, too? Is multitasking a myth and what are the implications on our cognitive performance? Do we lose the ability to focus? And what are the strategies for people of all ages to navigate and benefit from the digital world?
Our guest will demonstrate this and more, delivering the complex topic in a humorous and easily understandable way for everyone.
This session is your opportunity to focus, stay curious, and take away new insights.
Our guest:
Prof. Dr. Martin Korte researches and teaches at TU Braunschweig and is one of Germany’s most cited neurobiologists. He is an expert on learning, memory acquisition and loss, and a prominent public speaker and author. His books Frisch im Kopf (‘Fresh in mind’) and Jung im Kopf (‘Young in mind’) are bestsellers popular with a very broad audience.

Sinnkrise in der Arbeit – Lernen als Antwort?
Lass dich zum Nachdenken anregen bei diesem letzten Abendevent zu einem brandaktuellen Thema mit einem weiteren, besonderen Gast! Im Gespr?ch mit dem Arbeitsforscher und Philosophen Hans Rusinek beleuchten wir, weshalb nicht nur die jüngere Generation eine Sinnkrise in der Arbeit erlebt, was unsere Arbeitsweise mit der Zukunft unseres Planeten zu tun hat und ob Lernen die Antwort ist.
Language: German
Ist die Krise unserer Umwelt eine Krise unseres T?tigseins, unserer Arbeit in ihr? Ja, meint Hans Rusinek. Doch weshalb? "Warum mache ich das hier eigentlich?" Motiviert uns diese Frage oder ist sie zu einem Sinndruck geworden? Wie kann sinnvolle Arbeit heute und in Zukunft aussehen? Sollten wir Arbeit und Leistung vielleicht komplett neu denken? Und ist (Um)Lernen die L?sung?
Diesen und vielen weiteren spannenden Fragen rund um die Sinnhaftigkeit und die Zukunft unserer Arbeit und unseres Planeten gehen wir im Gespr?ch mit Hans Rusinek auf den Grund.
Ob Forscher:in oder technisch-administrative Mitarbeiter:in: Es ist deine Sinnhaftigkeit, deine Neugier und deine Chance, Teil eines inspirierenden Abends zu sein.
Our guest:
Dr. Hans Rusinek is a philosopher, economist and labor researcher. He holds a doctorate from the University of St.Gallen on the topic of meaningfulness and work, has a teaching position and advises organizations at an international level on the transformation of work. His book 'Work-Survive-Balance', published in 2023, has reached a wide audience and has been praised as “Ingenious, forward-looking, fascinating!”.
