Portal Wissenschaftskommunikation.de
The portal Wissenschaftskommunikation.de offers information on jobs, organizations and training courses. The Department of Science Communication is significantly involved in the research channel. Its editor, Dr. Joachim Retzbach, provides insights into current scientific breakthroughs and evaluates their practical relevance. In the main topics we deal with current debates. The editor-in-chief at KIT is Prof. Dr. Annette Leßmöllmann.
The portal is a cooperation between Wissenschaft im Dialog (project management) as well as the National Institute for Science Communication (NaWik) and the Chair of Science Communication of Prof. Dr. Annette Leßmöllmann at KIT.
