Samples of current research projects

The articles were largely written by the scientists themselves. The magazine is thus characterized by different styles and formats, which at the same time represent the diversity of science and communication. Instead of having a specialist audience in mind, the articles are aimed at citizens, cooperation partners, companies, schoolchildren and all interested parties. At any time and any place - digital or analog - readers are offered a taste of the topics on which doctoral and postdoctoral researchers at the University of Kassel are currently conducting research.

All participating scientists were involved in the Communication School, a one-week advanced training course on the topic of science communication, which was funded by the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art as part of the study structure program. In addition to teaching practical skills, the advanced training program shows what science communication can do as a prerequisite for transfer and dialogue. This became clear, among other things, during the Science Night, where participants presented "first-hand knowledge" to a public audience following the Communication School. At the end of the entire project, the magazine was designed in close cooperation with the scientists.
