The series of panel discussions called CTRL-SHIFT-DELETE, organized by OSB-VUB in collaboration with People and Science, explores five fundamental issues that are crucial for the future of our society: democracy, energy, genetics, pensions and the prison system. These discussions bring together experts and citizens to separate the main issues from the side issues and to think about 'the next step'.
