The Central European University (CEU) will hold its Liveable World Festival in Budapest on June 12-13, featuring lectures, film screenings and exhibitions. The events at the university’s downtown Nádor Street building are free, though some require prior registration, MTI reports.
The festival will include a discussion with clinical psychologist Annamaria Tari and HaverVagy community founder Csaba Kéri on the role of communities in well-being as well as author András Dezső presenting his new book on the post-1989 Balaton nightlife and underworld.
The festival’s cultural program also includes the closing screening of the Re:Verzio documentary series. Olga Kosanović’s film 'Far from being Lipizzans' explores issues of citizenship, identity, and belonging; the screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
Microbiome research is at the center of the health science programs. In his presentation, Richárd Schwab will explain how modern lifestyles can contribute to the development of lifestyle diseases by altering gut flora; Krisztina Koós will discuss the role of early immune programming and microbiome development; and an interactive nutrition workshop will help participants apply these scientific findings to their daily lives.
The program also features discussions on artificial intelligence in health care, democracy and urban development. An interactive art installation on the CEU rooftop will focus on identity and community belonging.
