University of Cologne

Science communication carries academic research into public. However, it is more than just an information process, because it encourages a critical dialogue and promotes the placement of findings and processes in a broad social context. Communication at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is closely linked to social commitment at many levels. In addition to providing pure information via media (press, TV, social media), our scientists and staff are involved, for example, in and for schools (teachers and pupils), in advising national and international public institutions or are sought-after guests at public discussions and events.
