The Saarland University Society, in cooperation with the Saarland University Graduate Programme, invites you to the award ceremony. After a welcome by University President Ludger Santen, the young scientists will present their research in entertaining lectures.
The keynote speech will be given by Dr Jens Ewen, himself a recipient of the Eduard Martin Prize (2010). Now Vice-President for Digitalisation and Internationalisation at the University of Music Franz Liszt in Weimar, he will address the question: "Who will go to a classical concert in 30 years' time? Music for the society of the future". The music world is currently undergoing massive change and there are more uncertainties than ever: What will the concert audience of the future look like? How are streaming services changing listening habits? Are they more of a threat or an opportunity for the live music sector? Can music even counteract the centrifugal forces of Western societies? In his keynote speech, Jens Ewen will highlight these questions and provide inspiration on how future elites and leaders can use methods from the music industry to shape their challenges.
For the first time, the award ceremony will take place together with the meeting of donors of the Saarland University Society: donors will once again demonstrate their commitment to Saarland University and present the prize money for twelve Eduard Martin Awards. Two further prizes will be donated by faculties.
All interested parties and the media are cordially invited to attend the ceremony in the auditorium.
