Success of the energy turnaround will not only depend on technical developments. The transformation of the energy sys-tem can only be achieved with the acceptance of society. This challenge will be in the focus of the “Helmholtz-Gespräche zur Energiewende” (Helmholtz talks on the energy turnaround) on Wednesday, June 27, 18 hrs, at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. Starting point of the discussion will be the activities of the ENERGY-TRANS Helmholtz Alliance coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Representatives of the media are cordially invited.
