Open Lab Abend: Zukunftsvisionen der Wissenschaftskommunikation

In the organizer's words:

How can complex scientific findings be communicated in an understandable, exciting and inspiring way? This Open Lab evening is all about making science tangible and exploring new formats for different target groups. The Open Lab evening is aimed at anyone interested in science communication, education and schools.

The "Utopia mobile - time machine and idea generator" - and the "Utopia cookies" playfully encourage reflection on the future of science communication.

The discussion will be documented live by an illustrator. Finally, we will consider together what a science project day at schools could look like to introduce pupils to scientific thinking and work.


Workshop leader:

  • Johanna Gereke, PhD, Federal Institute for Population Research and Mannheim Center for European Social Research, University of Mannheim

Johanna Gereke is an empirical social scientist and currently a research associate at the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB) and project manager at the Mannheim Center for European Social Research (MZES) at the University of Mannheim. She has been a member of the Junge Akademie since 2021, where she is particularly involved in projects on science communication and internationalization. Among other things, she deals with the question: How can topics such as migration, integration and diversity be communicated in an understandable way and how can facts be separated from value judgments?

In cooperation with the Junge Akademie, which offers outstanding young scientists and artists interdisciplinary creative spaces, she provides further impetus on various issues:

  • Lisa Buchauer, member of the Junge Akademie and Professor of Systems Biology of Infectious Diseases at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin. "How can findings relating to the immune system be explained clearly?"
  • Leonie Wenz, member of the Junge Akademie and Head of the Social Change and Wellbeing Lab, Deputy Head of the Complexity Research Department at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Professor of Environmental Economics at TU Berlin. "How can complex data on the consequences of climate change be communicated?"
  • Fabian Hruschka (journalist): "What are the pitfalls in science communication - and what could science communication look like in the future from a journalistic perspective?"
