Science management

Making knowledge matter — together

For the research conducted at the Leibniz‑IZW to have real‑world impact, science, society and application need to work closely together. This succeeds when 1) research questions reflect both scientific curiosity and societal needs, 2) researchers and stakeholders jointly develop and implement solutions, and 3) the public is well informed and supports evidence‑based approaches to urgent challenges.

Our task is to prepare research in a way that reaches diverse audiences — from the general public to specific stakeholder groups and the scientific community. As an interdisciplinary team, we bring together communication, science, media design, organization and technical infrastructure. This allows us to present research clearly, develop suitable formats and support the transfer of scientific findings into institutional and societal contexts. This is how knowledge becomes impact.
