Films, books, and other popular knowledge formats have a considerable influence on technology developments. They determine public acceptance, research trends, and funding. Examples are mobility, robotics, nuclear power or particle physics. For three days, the workshop “Wissenschaftskommunikation, Utopien und Technikzukünfte“ (science communication, utopias, and technology futures) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology will focus on this interface of technology and society. Representatives of the media are cordially invited and kindly asked to register using the form enclosed.
