Scientific endeavors take center stage: The event titled 'Science goes public' commences on 10th October, during the autumn season, where science intersects with hospitality.
From October 10 to November 14, the city of Bremen and Bremerhaven will host the annual "Science Goes Public" fall series. This event offers approximately twenty engaging talks, designed to make complex scientific topics accessible to the general public.
The series kicks off on October 10, with Imogen Weidinger from the University of Bremen discussing the connections between emancipation and female alcohol consumption at Fehrfeld Bremen. The talks take place every Thursday at 20:30, and admission is free.
In Bremerhaven, speakers include the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven, the Historical Museum, the German Maritime Museum, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems. On October 24, Lena Buth from the Alfred Wegener Institute will discuss her research on the Arctic, including melt ponds and their importance for the climate, at Café de Fiets in Bremerhaven.
The series features speakers from various institutions, including the University of Bremen, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, and the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Bremen.
After each talk, there will be an opportunity for audience members to discuss the topic and exchange ideas with the scientists. The complete program can be found on the website Sciencegoespublic.de.
The organizers of "Science goes public" are Erlebnis Bremerhaven GmbH on behalf of "Pier der Wissenschaft" and WFB Wirtschaftsförderung Bremen GmbH for the Hanseatic City of Bremen. The topics of the series are as varied as they are entertaining, including discussions on the color of sea ice, the status of Bremen as a city-state, the work of energy detectives, and the use of artificial intelligence on Mars.
For more detailed information about upcoming events, it might be helpful to check the University of Bremen's official announcements or contact their Department of Mathematics and Computer Science directly, as they are involved in promoting such scientific engagement events. The series can also be found on social media under the hashtag #ScienceGoesPublic. The image source for this article is WFB / Arkadius Rojek.
- The talks in the "Science Goes Public" fall series, held in Bremen and Bremerhaven from October 10 to November 14, not only encompass discussions on various scientific topics but also encourage lifelong learning through Q&A sessions and audience interaction with scientists, such as the one with Imogen Weidinger from the University of Bremen on October 10.
- In addition to the university, other institutions like the Alfred Wegener Institute, the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems, are part of the "Science Goes Public" series, offering a diverse range of education-and-self-development opportunities in areas such as climate research, artificial intelligence, and more, as can be seen in Lena Buth's discussion on Arctic melt ponds scheduled for October 24.
