What role does your genetic constitution play in your chances in life? And what is the role of social conditions? For an entire year, international scientists at Bielefeld University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) have been examining the genetic and social causes for life chances. The ZiF Research Group is now presenting and discussing its findings at a Closing Conference from Monday the 9th to Wednesday the 11th of January.
The conference at the ZiF is entitled ‘Genetic and social causes of life chances: High ambitions and a realistic outlook’.
