Unveiling the Science Cube: A Million Euro Boost for Halle's Science Communication
Halle, with its scientific institutions, is set to become a hub for science communication, thanks to a generous 1.9 million euro grant from the federal government. This funding, allocated to establish a competence center, will propel the Science Cube project—led by the Halle-based association, Science2public—into the limelight.
"We're here to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public," said Reiner Haseloff, President of the CDU-led government in Saxony-Anhalt. "Communication is the heart of change, and investing in it is just as crucial as investing in research itself."
The Science Cube project is intended to foster dialogue, encourage cooperation among scientists, and engage interested citizens through several initiatives.
The Win-Win Collaboration
The Science Cube's budget comes from federal programs aimed at supporting coal-fired power plant sites, demonstrating that change can be thoughtfully and constructively implemented. Halle, a city boasting a wealth of scientific institutions, emerges as the ideal location for the project.
The Role of the Powerhouse Duo: Science2public and Haseloff
Through its efforts, the Association Science2public aims to revolutionize science communication in Halle. Under the guidance of Haseloff, the project will transform the city into a dynamic hub for science advocacy, engaging the public and creating opportunities for continuous learning and dialogue.
The Future Under Lens
The Science Cube will be a stepping stone towards a more inclusive and informed society, providing a platform where scientists and curious minds can connect, learn, and innovate.
Worth Noting
- Science-at-sea: The Science Cube project will integrate the "Make Science Halle" research vessel into its mission, transforming the ship to run on climate-friendly e-fuels with a €200,000 grant, as part of its sustainability efforts.
