Science Communication
Science Communication
The Knowledge Transfer team advises researchers on the topic of knowledge transfer, teaches the tools of good science communication and develops new formats for engaging with society, business and politics about science. In doing so, we cooperate with the Press & Communication department, as well as with decentralized initiatives such as the Oldenburg Network for Science Communication (OLWIK) and the press offices of university research institutes.
Formats & projects
Hirn vom Hahn
1 city, 7 pubs, 14 times science - that's the principle behind Hirn vom Hahn, a pub evening to get to know people who have made discovery their academic appointment: Between counters and bar stools, Oldenburg scientists chat about their everyday work and research. The different topics show: Science is anything but dry as dust and the world would be a different place without their findings. There are two 20-minute talks in each pub. In between, there will be enough time to switch to another of the participating pubs for the second talk." https://hirnvomhahn.de/
Oldenburg Science Slam
At a science slam, your own research is presented on stage in 10 minutes in an entertaining way: uol.de/scienceslam
Podcast "Hirn gehört"
Presenting the people behind the research and getting people excited about science - that is the aim of the podcast "Hirn gehört - Oldenburger Wissensschnack". There is a new episode every third Thursday of the month - wherever podcasts are available. The publisher is OLWIK. hirnvomhahn. de/podcast/
"Experience Science" bike tour
The "Experience Science" bike tour is dedicated to the topic of freedom at a total of eight stations and allows scientists to have their say, looking at the topic from different perspectives. Each stop looks at the topic from a different perspective. The bike tour makes science tangible and encourages people to think about freedom.
Along the cycle route through Oldenburg, you will find a QR code at each stop. Scanned with your smartphone, it will take you to a short scientific contribution to listen to. We recommend headphones for the best possible sound. All stations are open to the public, so you can reach them at any time and also visit them individually.

Science Bench
One bench, two seats and plenty of space for scientific discussions in the middle of Oldenburg's city centre - that's the idea behind the Science Bench. A scientist sits down on the bench in a central square and invites citizens to join them. The aim of this knowledge transfer format is to have in-depth conversations about scientific topics and real-life issues (e.g. the future of energy, climate change, artificial intelligence or digitalisation in medicine). The one-to-one dialogue situation is intended to make science and researchers more approachable and break down stereotypes." https://www.schlaues-haus.de/science-bench/
Workshops
In the Science Communication workshop you will learn the basics of good science communication. The workshop is available to you at any time in Stud.IP in English and consists of four modules: Basics of Science Communication, Blogging with WordPress, Social Media and Creating Scientific Posters.
