Pilot phase of the Forum Wissen ensured

German federal and state governments agree funding for the first five years - opening planned for autumn 2021. First Berlin, now Hannover: after the Federal Government of Germany decided last week to support the University of Göttingen's planned Forum Wissen for five years with a total of 7.15 million euros, the State of Lower Saxony has now joined them by committing funding totalling 1.3 million euros for the same period. The Federal Government's decision was a prerequisite for the state's participation. Together with University funds, covering a proportion of the staff costs and all of the running costs for the building, the required reciprocal financing from federal funds is now in place. This guarantees the running of the Forum Wissen for the first five years. "The Forum Wissen will allow us to engage in the urgently needed exchange between science and society in a new and contemporary way. This will be of great benefit to both sides," explains University President Professor Reinhard Jahn.
