Covid-19, climate change, populism, and not least the Ukraine war make the question of how and whether reconciliation is possible highly topical and relevant. The new Bonner Zentrum für Versöhnungsforschung ( Center for Reconciliation Research ) at the University of Bonn bundles research on this topic in cooperation with partner organizations. The center's aim is to analyze reconciliation practices in an interdisciplinary and comparative way looking at different cultural, social and regional contexts. The center has now been ceremoniously opened in the University's Festsaal. Many guests from the participating faculties and beyond came to the ceremonial opening of the Zentrum für Versöhnungsforschung in the University's Festsaal.
