Laboratory Space

New, innovative science communication formats are developed in the Laboratory Space and subsequently implemented and evaluated as pilot projects. They are carried out by the Lab or in cooperation with partners within the university and the public.

Dialogue Space

Within the framework of Dialogue Space, scientific topics are actively introduced into the public debate via various exchange and dialogue formats in order to foster discussion between science and society. Dialogue Space events focus on exchange regarding current scientific and social issues as well as on discourse with Hannover citizens to increase the visibility of scientific topics in the city.

Citizen science

As a strategic point of contact for citizen science at LUH, the Leibniz Science Communication LAB organises and implements co-creative research projects involving citizens in cooperation with university partners, therefore promoting the participation of citizens in science.
