Knowledge transfer

Sharing and passing on knowledge not only creates innovations. Research gains more visibility, new input is generated and society's acceptance of science increases. Potsdam Transfer encourages scientists at the University of Potsdam to pass on knowledge and communicate it in a comprehensible way, and passes on its own knowledge and methodological skills.

In a cooperation with the Hannah-Arendt-Gymnasium Potsdam, we support pupils in developing their creativity and project-oriented thinking. During a workshop day, the young people are given presentation skills and creative methods to help them get their first own project off the ground.

Uni finds the city

Under the motto "Uni findet Stadt",  the University of Potsdam is moving into the centre of the city with lectures, exhibitions, concerts and workshops to show what research is actually being carried out. The Department of Press and Public Relations at the University of Potsdam is the point of contact for this event.

Science Slam

University scientists swap their laboratory for the stage and slam their research topics for the audience's favour. Potsdam Transfer regularly organises science slams together with the Press and Public Relations Department of the University of Potsdam. These take place both on the Golm campus of the University of Potsdam and in co-operation with the Waschhaus Potsdam in Schiffbauergasse. All important information about the next Science Slam can be found here.
