Educating, informing and simplifying complex topics - these are the tasks of science communication. As a science centre, we have various formats in our programme: In co-operation with Volkswagen Group we are in close dialogue with universities with our science talk. At meet the scientist, young academics have the opportunity to explain research projects directly to our young and old guests in an understandable way in our exhibition area.
Science for everyone.
The importance of science communication at the Science Centre lies in the challenge of making scientific information understandable and relevant for different target groups. We offer experts and young scientists a platform for dialogue and an interface between the sciences and the public.
Lectures, discussion rounds, workshops and targeted programmes for educational institutions offer opportunities for direct exchange.
Science Talk.
One Thursday evening a month at 6:30 pm, the phaeno Science Theatre hosts a top-class event on topics from science and technology. The format is free of charge.
The science talks are lectures or panel discussions - our aim: dialogues on future topics - the best science communication with the best researchers in the region. The participants come to phaeno from regional universities, research institutions and Volkswagen and are joined by representatives from politics or nationally recognised luminaries.
The events are offered in hybrid form in presence and as a YouTube livestream in order to make them accessible to a broader interested audience outside the region.
Dates 2024.
meet the scientist.
As part of the Volkswagen cooperation meet the scientist, scientists from the region present their research work at a "research stand" in the centre of the phaeno exhibition. This gives them the opportunity to exchange ideas with the guests and gain experience in communicating their work in an understandable way.
In return, phaeno guests have the opportunity to get to know scientists and their projects that they would never normally come into contact with. The focus of the scientists is on groups of researchers or doctoral students from universities, colleges and research institutions in the region, including Volkswagen Group Research.

Electromagnetic fields surround us everywhere in everyday life. They occur when we use our mobile phones or operate electrical devices. In contrast to X-rays, these fields are not ionising and therefore cannot cause any direct changes to genetic material. Nevertheless, there are also limit values that protect us from health consequences.
Discover the future of infrastructure monitoring! At TU Braunschweig, experts Prof Dr Gerke and Jan Backhaus, M. Sc., are working on moving from traditional inspection methods to predictive monitoring. High-resolution drone images are used to recognise and predict damage to buildings. Find out more at Meet the Scientist at phaeno, where the researchers will present their research projects portAI and BridgeInspekt . Do you have questions about drones? Our scientists have the answers.
The number of vehicles on Germany's roads continues to rise and the transport of goods is also constantly increasing. As a result, the transport sector is not producing fewer emissions, but more and more. How can we still manage to reduce these as far as possible by 2045 and thus meet our climate targets?
Max Schüttenhelm is working at Volkswagen in cooperation with TU Dresden on the composition of renewable fuels and their possible applications.
