Monday 1 June 2026 | 20.00 - 21.30 hrs | LUX, Nijmegen | Radboud Reflects and Honours Lab ‘How Do You Translate Science into Politics?’

A short one liner, an emotional reaction, a polarizing statement. Those who communicate quickly and without much nuance get attention — including in politics. But what does this mean for democracy and political debate? Do emotion and speed outweigh substance? Come listen to spin doctor Julia Wouters, politician Paul Tang, and scholar of communication Paul Hendriks Vettehen, and reflect on how the struggle for attention shapes political discourse.

The programme was Dutch spoken. Visit the Dutch page for a complete recap.
