„Disruption“ – Launch event of the Conflict, Crisis, and Change (C3) Research Center
27 October 2026 | 18:00–19:30, with reception afterwards | Congress hall, FZA
Disruption is at the centre of crises and has become a common description of contemporary crises in particular. From the disruption of global supply chains to the disruption of national and international political systems, a sense of rupture permeates public debates on ongoing dynamics of conflict and change. This roundtable discusses insights from different disciplines as to what disruption means, how it shapes conflict dynamics and outcomes, and how the vocabulary of disruption introduces new perspectives on temporality and the open-endedness of history.
With this discussion and the subsequent reception, we invite you to join us in celebrating the launch the new Conflict, Crisis, and Change (C3) Research Center at the University of Bayreuth.
