Professor Rolf Tarrach’s lecture is entitled “Randomness against Biases”. In academia and research, biases are a major source of injustice and unreliability. A thoughtful use of randomness can help restore fairness and trust. The evening will be moderated by Sherley De Deurwaerder and will also feature five musical interludes performed by the University of Luxembourg Choir.
