THE WISSENSCHAFTSLADEN HANNOVER e.V.
|
|
|
|
In the 80th in Germany many of the critical scientists
|
|
were unsatisfied with the framework of their own scientific
|
|
work at universities and research institutions, mainly with
|
|
the ever growing distance of scientific knowledge and the
|
|
needs of everyday life. Because of this some of thesepeople
|
|
fouded a non-university institution, that was situated just
|
|
within this gap between science and daily life. The aim was to
|
|
confront the scientific communitu with the needs of society
|
|
and to bring (back) social and ecological responsibility to
|
|
the university.
|
|
The Wissenschaftsladen Hannover e.V. was founded in 1986.
|
|
Because of the nuclear accident in the Soviat Union that year
|
|
one of the first main topics of work were informations about
|
|
nuclear technology and radioactivity. Lucky enough there were
|
|
not only scientists but academics, pedagogues and other as
|
|
well. From the beginning there was the intention to work in
|
|
interdisciplinary teams.
|
|
Today the Wissenschaftsladen Hannover e.V. has about 30
|
|
permanent members and several corresponding members. It's a
|
|
registered society and financed by membership subscriptions,
|
|
donations, expert-opinions and several projects. The honorary
|
|
members and the employees of the Wissenschaftsladen are
|
|
working on several different topics in the sphere of ecology
|
|
and environmental protection. Remaining constant,
|
|
Wissenschaftsladen aims can still be described as follows:
|
|
science for the benefit of the public and
|
|
science for the benefit of the environment.
|
|
|
|
(to be concluded in next issue)
