Panel discussions

PRIF organizes a series of panel discussions addressing current issues in cooperation with the Frank­furter Rundschau and Haus am Dom, the Katholische Akademie Rabanus Maurus. First conducted in July 2013, three or four of these discussions are held each year.

Moderated by Andreas Schwarzkopf from the Frankfurter Rundschau, the dis­cussions feature PRIF scholars in dialog with representatives from politics, the media, churches and NGOs. The events take place at the Haus am Dom in the heart of Frankfurt and ad­mission is free of charge.
