Bas Haring thinks and asks, writes and speaks. In a clear and thought-provoking way, he tries to make science and philosophy meaningful for YOUR life. He does so by writing books, columns and making TV programmes. Bas Haring is a professor at Leiden University and founder of the master's programme Media Technology.
Bas Haring is an exception as a scientist, because he knows how to appeal to a wide audience with his work. Ordinary people can draw a lot of inspiration from his work and scientists also find his work fresh and innovative. His main goal is to help people better understand the world around them. Theory is interspersed with practical everyday examples to help readers create a clear picture for themselves. Bas strips science of its veil of vagueness and gets to its essence. This makes his way of thinking incredibly inspiring and instructive. As a speaker, he always manages to put a surprising twist on his story. As a result, he always manages to captivate his listeners and prompt them to ponder his vision.
Bas Haring hopes that after a lecture, people think: "I have to think about this again".
