Berlin School of Public Engagement and Open Science
Germany (Berlin)
The Berlin School of Public Engagement and Open Science is a collaborative project between the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the Humboldt-Universitt zu Berlin and the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
The School brings researchers and target groups together to build confidence and competence and to open up research to society. We support political decision making, funders and research institutions to create a sustainable infrastructure and framework for the development of a sustainable public engagement field in Germany. We enable and strengthen interactive communication about and through research. In particular, we help researchers and their stakeholders to engage with research and research processes in a creative, interactive, impact oriented and context-aware way. To this end, we see ourselves as a hub for all actors in public engagement.
