ACADEMY OF THE ARTS venue at the Pariser Platz, the premier location in Berlin.

I recommend from their website: www.dahrendorf-symposium.eu
Changing the Debate on Europe - Moving Beyond Conventional Wisdoms

?.... you can discover more about the German-British citizen and European, Lord Dahrendorf, his life between politics and academia, as well as the intellectual inheritance of his research. Get to know the concepts behind the Symposium which serve as its intellectual starting point...

Lord Dahrendorf’s Legacy
Dahrendorf forcefully and repeatedly warned against taking seemingly comfortable policy frames and political positions for granted. He urged academics to question the status quo, and to challenge the political Zeitgeist. ... .

So let us this as raw-model and icon can be brought life to tackle the challenges "debated".
