Science Gardens

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the German-language online magazine sciencegarden - magazine for young research , primarily young academics and young science journalists wrote, but also established researchers and artists for anyone interested in science. From 2001 to approx. 2015 the only online magazine for young academics in Germany reported regularly on scientific topics from various specialist areas. The editors put together special thematic editions for individual focal points, which were continuously updated and expanded. From 2008 on there was also a sciencegarden blog on the homepage, which also contained numerous service offers (competition database, research tools, etc.) for students and scientists.

For those interested in science, young researchers and established scientists, sciencegarden wanted to be a source of information, service provider and mediator by providing the magazine

  • Scientific topics prepared in such a way that readers who are not experts can understand them
  • presents successful and innovative (young) researchers and their work
  • provides extensive and useful information (databases, research tools, topic dossiers) for scientists
  • funding programs and scientific prizes reports
  • gives young up-and-coming talents space to further qualify themselves in science journalism

The editorial team of sciencegarden was organized in the independent and non-profit association sciencegarden eV, which was founded in 2000 by the winners of the German Study Prize . The association and the editorial team were supported by students, young researchers and academics from various disciplines. In addition, numerous external authors wrote for sciencegarden.

sciencegarden was a non-commercial, non-profit project. Various companies and institutions as well as income from online advertising contributed to the financing of the running costs . The non-profit association sciencegarden eV did not pursue any economic interests.

Editor-in-chief since 2001: Christoph Scherber (2001), Frank Berzbach (2001–2005), Christian Dries (2005–2008), Joachim Jachnow (from 2009).
