On February 7, 2025, the Science Goes Public Knowledge Forum will present itself with a new concept: Under the motto "Knowledge to join in, have a say and take part", the inspiring event in Osnabrück's Schlossaula will offer insights into scientific research and the opportunity to participate and join in the discussion.
In insightful short presentations, scientific questions are answered in just four minutes. And anyone who overruns will receive a red card - the trademark of the Science Goes Public. In addition, this year's event, which is organized in cooperation with Osnabrück University and the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung newspaper, has some new features. In terms of content, everything revolves around the highly topical subject of "Care".
In view of the rising number of people in need of care in Osnabrück and dwindling care insurance funds, the topic of "care" is one of the most pressing of our time.
- What can be done about rising care costs?
- How can we counter caregiver burnout?
- What can I do to avoid becoming in need of care myself?
These and similar exciting questions are answered in a scientifically sound manner. As readers and family caregivers, you have the chance to decide for yourself which questions you would like to have answered. Choose the most exciting ones from those proposed and see how the scientists answer them. You can vote online for two weeks on the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung website.
