The Marsilius Lectures are activities for the academic community of all disciplines as well as for the broader public. Once a semester, the Marsilius Kolleg invites a well-known scientist to speak about a topic that calls for bridging the gaps between scholarly cultures. In recognition of their achievements in the dialogue between scholarly cultures, the speakers of the Marsilius Lecture are decorated with the Marsilius Medal. This May it was Onur’s turn. In a stunningly baroque and huge lecture hall he spoke about “Die Evolution des Denkens”. Afterwards he was awarded with the Marsilius Medal.
