»Innovation incentives, exchange, and development of excellence:

The workshop will follow the question of how science organi­zations can address and motivate filmmakers as a new target group in science communication to encourage the responsible inclusion of relevant STEM topics and characters representing the STEM field.

 

Furthermore, it shall be discussed which roles science founda­tions can have in this widely underrepresented field of science communication.
