• The University of Tübingen is boosting research and development into science communication by establishing a specialist research center.
• “Over recent years, the dialog in scientific policy has focused on the issue of how universities and research institutes can not only produce excellent science but also convey this to society more effectively,” says president of the university, Professor Karla Pollmann. “
• It has become extremely clear that science communication is itself becoming an increasingly important field of research, and the University of Tübingen wants to play a key part in this.”
•  The research center has been founded in response to these developments.
• Olaf Kramer, Professor of Rhetoric and Knowledge Communication at the University of Tübingen’s Department of General Rhetoric is the director of the center.
• “Research often gives rise to social resistance – whether relating to artificial intelligence, vaccination or climate change,” explains Kramer, “One outcome of the corona pandemic was definitely the knowledge of how important science communication is.
• ” The new center’s cooperation partners include the university’s Institute of Media Studies (IfM) and the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology (HIB), as well as the Leibniz-Institute for Knowledge Media (IWM) as an external partner.
• “Science is communicated via an increasing number of channels,” says Kramer. “Only a center with an interdisciplinary approach can analyze and present the numerous ways and effects of science communication.”
•  While corporate communication and marketing have been researched in depth for decades, science communication is still a new field of research.
•  “Tübingen can draw on outstanding researchers in every field that is relevant here – from educational research through computer science, cognitive and media studies, to psychology and rhetoric,” stresses Kramer.
• Rhetoric at Tübingen has already launched many research and practical science communication projects in recent years, and the new research center will now build on these.
• For instance, the RHET AI project is currently researching among other things the public discourse on artificial intelligence and its presentation in the media, and has set up a national dialog to ask citizens what they think are the risks and opportunities of this technology, and their concerns and expectations.
