From a research perspective, reading and writing is a fascinating phenomenon. After all, the first writing systems date back less than 6,000 years – the blink of an eye in the timescale of human evolution. How the human brain is nonetheless able to master this complex task is a key question. Current topics of scientific interest include exploring the differences between practised readers and illiterate individuals – and the consequences for people with reading difficulties – as well as the impact of poor reading and writing skills on global democracy.
Some years ago, José Morais from the University of Brussels determined that reading

The Nobel laureate Erwin Neher of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry helped lay the groundwork for the European Research Council (ERC), which in the tenth year of its existence is regarded as an international model of a well-run research funding organization. In our interview, Neher talks about important turning points during the early years. They include a petition, without which everything might have turned out differently.

The European Commission is currently negotiating with Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania to ensure that refugees do not even reach Europe’s external borders – a current example of how the EU is outsourcing its responsibility for migration to third countries. Cooperation like this is increasingly taking place on an informal level. In an interview, legal scholar Luc Leboeuf from the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology talks about the risks, but also the opportunities that such agreements bring with them.
