Many roads lead to knowledge transfer

The Senckenberg museums stage many educational events as part of the 'Science & Society' programme. Norbert Miguletz Universities and research institutes provide a wide variety of ways of organising exchanges with society - Here are three guest commentaries on the subject Creating knowledge and transferring it to society is part of our public culture and, as such, one of the central aims which the University of Münster has. Whether it is museums, the Senior Guest Programme and the Children's University, promoting start-ups, teacher training or science communication: for the University of Münster, knowledge transfer comprises active exchanges between the University and the surrounding region. Over the past six months, the University's Communications and PR Department has presented a wide-ranging dossier on the subject, also taking in the challenges posed. In concluding the series, we look beyond the University of Münster. The "Science & Society" programme from the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research - The Senckenberg Society for Nature Research (Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, SGN) is the largest institute within the Leibniz Association (Leibniz-Gemeinschaft) and one of its eight so-called research museums. First and foremost, SGN is one of the most important research institutes in the field of geo-biodiversity, located at eleven sites in Germany.
