Roadshow

On June 29, 2026, our roadshow “Communicating Science – Find Your Audience!” took place on the Neues Palais campus.

Immerse yourself in hands-on practice through interactive workshops. Find your own path to science communication - and the audience that’s right for you.

Program Details

Does my research have potential for science communication? Which channel works for me? What “story” can I tell?

All these questions are valid and important when you are at the beginning of your science communication journey. The type of communication and the medium you choose must fit both you and your research. The message often determines the channel—but at the start, it is about finding both, along with the courage and motivation to engage with them.

You had the chance to explore the topic in a hands-on workshop sessions. Where does my research/project have a need for communication? How do I find the right audience, and how can I communicate most effectively? Together with trainer Anna Kollenberg, you explored the communication potential of your research and had the opportunity to bring this to life. The phdscicom group was also be part of the event. We were also delighted that our neighbours from pro Wissen Potsdam e.V. on the Science Floor was joining us. We warmly invited you to join us in developing “wild ideas” for your science communication at the Design Thinking workshop. The short workshopl focused not only on science communication, but also on introducing the Design Thinking method, which delivered creative results and an first prototype within 90 minutes.
