SUMMARY:At santésuisse: cost control and the “tragedy of the commons”

SUMMARY:Opening of the 55th Solothurn Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The secret files scandal is thirty years old. Alain Berset opens the Solothurn Film Festival by playing on the word: why “Fichen” and not “Karteikarten”? “Immer\, wenn es brenzlig wird\, kommt das Französische zum Zug.” \nThen he speaks about surveillance in the digital age and the return of friend-enemy logic in public debate. A society\, he says\, is not threatened by a diversity of opinions: “Was eine Gesellschaft gefährdet\, ist Homogenität.” \nSpeeches on this site \n\nSolothurner Filmtage (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 22.01.2020

SUMMARY:21st forumsante.ch: the role of the doctor

Alain Berset opens by mocking his own title: “Bundesrat… Unverändert seit 1848.

SUMMARY:Paris: the Sorbonne and UNESCO

SUMMARY:50 years of EPFL
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset speaks at the official day marking 50 years of EPFL as a federal institute. \nHe poses a riddle: a school that celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2003 and celebrates its 50th in 2019. The answer lies in two dates: the cantonal institution founded in 1853 became federal in 1969. To solve the equation\, he says\, you need interdisciplinarity. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n50 ans de l’EPFL (French-language page)
