Bulletin 1/20 «Ungleichheit – Inégalité» (German and French)
Uns geht es besser denn je! Folgt man Wissenschaftlern wie Steven Pinker ist dies pure Empirie. Dem strauchelnden Individuum mag dies zynisch vorkommen, der Einzelfall dem Statistiker stereotyp erscheinen. Wie immer ist es ist eine Frage der Perspektive.
Das Dossier erhellt die multidimensionale Herausforderung «Ungleichheit» durch Expertise aus den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften und denkt konzeptionell verwandte Begriffe wie Gerechtigkeit, Differenz und Diversität mit.

Ethical guidelines for animal experiments
The Swiss Animal Welfare Act permits the use of animals for certain scientific purposes; at the same time, however, it requires that the dignity of animals be respected and their welfare protected. For researchers, reconciling these various societal interests can be challenging. The ethical guidelines for animal experiments (2025) are designed to clarify the margin of discretion left by the legislation and to encourage researchers to reflect on the handling of animals in their experiments. The decisive factors for updating the previous version from 2005 were new scientific knowledge and research methods on the one hand, as well as changes in the legal framework on the other.
