I recognized that teaching and research institutions vitally depend on the involvement of active scientists also in management functions. ↗

The daily calendar seemed, to me, like a kind of cartoon black hole, and you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know that that couldn't be sustained indefinitely. That's why I pulled the plug on that one after the '02 edition. Kind of a preemptive strike. ↗

A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year, we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge. ↗

We are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, and our work is a delightful game. ↗

The scientist rigorously defends his right to be ignorant of almost everything except his specialty. ↗

Scientists do stand on the shoulders of giants, just as do writers. Conversely, in the arts we do make discoveries. We do refine our tools. So I am arguing with, or at least playing with, the idea that art never improves. ↗
