The #polymath #festival is coming up and I'll be speaking on 26th August in a panel that makes me rather excited on "Towards an Interdisciplinary Education System". Big topic, but discussing this with Carl Gombrich and Ashish Jaiswal, it can't but be inspiring for all of us by The DaVinci Network
Announcement panel for the Polymath Festival. https://www.davinci-network.com/the-festival-2025 link to the Polymath Festival and programme. Registration still open.
