Conflicts, even wars, have become more numerous, more violent, and more complex. The international norms and institutions created to prevent, mediate, and end conflicts have been heavily criticized, ignored, or even actively undermined. At the same time, potentially post-liberal forms of governance are evolving and gaining strength both domestically and internationally. The lecture series

What counts as a lecture, a reading, or a discussion?

"Lecture" means a monologic contribution — one person addresses the audience (research talk, academic address, public lecture). "Reading" means literary formats — authors reading from their work, book launches, Buchmesse events. "Discussion" means dialogic formats with multiple voices — panels, debates, roundtables. The classification is automatic from the announcement; in edge cases, the description tips the balance.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped several times a day directly from venue websites. Cancellations or programme changes usually surface within a few hours.

Are the events free?

Many of them — university talks, Polytechnische lectures, many academy evenings. Others ask for a small contribution or registration. The note is shown on each entry; if in doubt, check the venue's detail page.

Why this site?

Frankfurt has an unusually dense public-lecture and discussion culture — from the university's citizens' programme through ecclesial academies to independent salons and foundations. But no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.

How do push notifications work?

Via the "Subscribe" button in the header or footer. Three time slots are available: morning (07:00), afternoon (16:00), and a weekly Sunday overview (09:00). Notifications can optionally be restricted to one format (lecture or discussion). Sign-up is anonymous — no account, no email — and can be cancelled at any time. On iOS, the site must first be added to the home screen as a web app.
