Science year

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A science year is a motto that has been organized since 2000 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) together with the Science in Dialogue Initiative . Each science year focuses on a scientific discipline or a current scientific topic. The Science Years should enable an exchange between science and the public: The public should be more interested in science and enable socio-political dialogue about research, and developments in research should become more transparent and accessible. In addition to conveying the topics and the scientific content, the Science Years should initiate and promote social debates about developments in science and research. Science years are characterized by numerous activities, including exhibitions, competitions and various dialogue formats. Since 2007, the BMBF has also been organizing International Science Years in cooperation with partner countries.

Overview

Year of Chemistry 2003

Logo of the year of chemistry

The year of chemistry took place in 2003 in the year of Justus von Liebig's 200th birthday .

The year of chemistry was marked by a large number of events. Activities in 2003 included the trilogy of events in Berlin, Bochum and Halle an der Saale, the chemistry education summit in Frankfurt am Main and the Mainz-Wiesbaden summer of science. Other attractions were the “Justus” truck, which was particularly popular in schools throughout Germany, and the MS Chemie motor ship as a touring exhibition of chemistry on the Rhine and Main. With more than 2000 events throughout Germany, the topic of chemistry was presented in a great variety. The aim was to clarify the role of chemistry in all areas of life, because the many different materials and substances in our environment were created through chemical processes. Chemistry also wants to contribute to bringing the quality of life and the environment into balance.

Many of the events were particularly attended by schoolchildren. With more than a million visitors at events throughout Germany, the "Year of Chemistry 2003" was the most successful science year to date. The increased number of new students in chemistry can also be derived from this.

Computer science year 2006

The science year 2006 in Germany was dominated by computer science and its applications. The aim of the IT year was to raise awareness of the numerous possibilities of IT and to illustrate the importance of IT as a factor for the economic development of Germany.

The total of 1500 events took place in 10 cities. A special event was the day of "Informatics and Motorsport" on the occasion of a Formula 1 race at the Nürburgring. Here, students on the edge of the racetrack explored how computers work in racing cars and in the background technology and logistics. Further highlights were the science fiction authors' competition, the “Computer Science Year Seeks IT Star” campaign, the Robocup 2006 and the “Art Computer Works” exhibition at the Center for Art and Media Technology (ZKM), Karlsruhe.

Based on the topics of mobility, safety, health, living, sport, communication, culture and entertainment, the IT year was used to demonstrate where and how much the scientific discipline of IT is present in everyday life.

The overarching motto of the computer science year 2006 was "thanks to computer science!". The aim was to show the great importance of computer science for everyday life. The areas of life, economy and history were the focus here.

The IT year was carried out together with the Science in Dialogue Initiative (WiD) and the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) as well as numerous partners from science, business and culture. The program of the IT year was also designed by numerous other partners: schools and universities, companies, associations, foundations and the media.

Year of the Humanities 2007

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research dedicated the 2007 Science Year to the humanities for the first time . Under the motto The humanities. ABC of humanity , this scientific discipline should be brought closer to people. 331 partners from science and culture got involved in a total of 1064 nationwide events. With competitions, exhibitions, lectures, readings and demonstrations, an invitation was given for a year to experience the diversity and fascination of humanities research in Germany.

After seven years of scientific disciplines were the focus of the Science Year, the Science Year 2007 was dedicated to the humanities in their diversity and importance. Topics, subjects and methods were made accessible to people in various events.

With the “ABC of humanity”, 26 key terms from the humanities were presented in an understandable way. Here, too, the spectrum and importance of the humanities should be made clear. Large-scale letter installations in the year of the humanities on prominent buildings in Berlin and other German cities were intended to bring people closer to terms such as “Z for future” through “K for communication” to “E for Europe”. Particularly noteworthy is the 26-meter-high installation "D for Democracy", which was set up at the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus of the German Bundestag.

As prominent ambassadors, Franka Potente , Bas Böttcher , Manuel Herder , Sasha Waltz , Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller , Rüdiger Safranski and Nadja Uhl gave the Year of the Humanities a face.

Year of Mathematics 2008

Logo for the year of mathematics

Mathematics is the basis of all natural sciences and almost every technical development. The motto of the Year of Mathematics was “Everything that counts” and was intended to bring people closer to how strongly this scientific discipline permeates our areas of life and work.

Prominent ambassadors of the year were the multiple mental arithmetic world champion Gert Mittring , the mathematics student and Germany's Next Top Model 2007, Barbara Meier , the chief economist of Deutsche Bank , Norbert Walter , and the former coach of FC Schalke 04 , Mirko Slomka .

One of the goals of the year was the involvement of individual actors as mathematicians: in the run-up to the Science Year 2008, an action was launched to invite people to get involved in the Year of Mathematics. Teachers at schools and universities, students, parents, mathematicians in research centers, companies or associations acted as ambassadors to convey the enthusiasm for mathematics, especially to the next generation. The activities ranged from math groups to individual math workshops to (small) events or lectures on the subject of mathematics.

Schools in particular were to be reached with the math year 2008: Various poster motifs under the motto “You can do more math than you think” and the website du-kannst-mathe.de are aimed particularly at young people. Numerous exhibitions and activities as well as various mathematics competitions were aimed at students of different ages. In addition, a "math case" with school materials was presented for the math year. The German Mathematicians Association has been awarding its “Abitur Prize Mathematics” for all grammar schools in Germany since 2008.

Research expedition Germany 2009

Science meeting point

In 2009 ten German cities were awarded the title Science Meeting Point . Each of the ten meeting points represented a research topic of supraregional importance. Based on a research question , the achievements, unsolved problems and perspectives of the respective discipline should be conveyed to the citizens. Three different (age and target) groups looked for an answer to the respective research question on site: Schoolchildren as part of a research project, students went on expeditions through the ten meeting points and recorded their discoveries in a weblog with texts and videos, and experts discussed the research question in a public debate.

The aim was to provide information about mostly scientific research projects and scientific working methods. The result: 260,000 visitors, 62 stations and over 15,000 kilometers covered.

Health Research Science Year 2011

Logo from the Science Year Health Research

The Science Year 2011 focuses attention on the social and interdisciplinary debate on the goals, challenges and fields of action of modern health research.

The understanding of health of the Science Year Health Research was based on the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO): It is not the absence of illness or ailments alone that defines health, but a personal constitution of physical, mental and social well-being. In the Health Research Science Year, the focus was not only on the diagnosis, treatment and healing of diseases, but also on the ethical and social dimensions of health. The Health Research Science Year initiated a dialogue on these topics between the future and the present, science and society, the individual and the professional world.

The thematic priorities of the Science Year include:

The Science Year Health Research relied on a broad dialogue that included events, public discussions and the Internet. A wide variety of formats were used for this: For example, the tour of the MS Wissenschaft , the exhibition ship from WiD, which anchored in 35 cities, the ScienceStation 2011, which carried science to German train stations, the business game "Healthy City" for schoolchildren, the research exchange, the traveling exhibition “It affects YOU!”.

Science Year 2012 - Future Project Earth

Logo for the Science Year 2012

The Science Year 2012 was all about research for sustainable developments on an economic, ecological and social level. The focus was on topics such as climate change , population growth , loss of biodiversity , bionics , urban agriculture , megacities , biodiversity or light pollution , taking into account approaches from environmental and energy research as well as economics and humanities.

Over 1000 events dealt with the central questions: “How do we want to live?”, “How do we have to do business?” And “How can we preserve our environment?” As part of the Science Year. When it comes to sustainability, cities and municipalities are key players in developing a sustainable way of life. That is why they played a central role in the Science Year 2012 - Earth Project for the Future. Research and science can provide approaches for CO 2 -neutral and more energy-efficient structures.

The Science Year 2012 - Future Project Earth is organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) together with the Science in Dialogue Initiative (WiD) and other institutions from science, business, politics and culture. In terms of content, the Science Year cooperates with the framework program “Research for Sustainable Developments” (FONA). Among other things, the Science Year takes up the latest results from research for sustainable developments and presented individual FONA projects. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is currently funding more than 500 international projects in 62 countries on five continents in the interests of sustainable development.

Science Year 2013 - The Demographic Opportunity

Projected age distribution for Germany in 2050

The Science Year 2013 focuses on three aspects of demographic change :

The key question of the Science Year was: How is the ability to innovate maintained in this demographic development? Under the motto “We live longer. We're getting less. We are becoming more diverse ”, these challenges were outlined in three fields of action in the 2013 Science Year - The Demographic Opportunity.

The thematic focal points included the following questions:

  • Age : What does "older" mean? How old is "old"? How can learning be made possible in old age?
  • Health : Under what conditions is health possible into old age? What role do technical support systems play in this?
  • Health and nursing care : How will care be designed in the future? How can care concepts be implemented in a familiar environment?
  • Population development : Are the forecasting models used in research and science correct? How are wealth and quality of life measured? Is a low birth rate problematic when all educational potential is raised?
  • Ability to innovate : How is lifelong learning ensured in companies? How does the world of work have to adapt to demographic developments? How is Germany's innovative strength strengthened?
  • Lifestyle : Which phases will there be in the future? How does more cultural diversity affect society?

Science Year 2014 - The Digital Society

Logo for the Science Year 2014

Science Year 2014 - The digital society was supposed to show the role of science and research in digital change and was dedicated to the effects of the digital revolution . How society will change as a result of digitization was a central question in the 2014 Science Year. Three main focuses were set in terms of content:

  • The digital we: How is our identity changing? How do we secure our privacy? How do we treat each other?
  • The digital economy: how is the economy changing? How do we get fit for the world of work? How do we make a digital career?
  • The digital knowledge: how will we learn in the future? How do we deal with the flood of information? How is our knowledge changing?

Numerous events accompanied the "Science Year 2014 - The Digital Society". On board the MS Wissenschaft, for example, visitors were able to explore an exhibition with almost 40 exhibits.

Science Year 2015 - City of the Future

Logo for the Science Year 2015

The Science Year 2015 is all about the city of the future : Cities are the central place for the development of a sustainable way of life. Two out of three people in Germany already live there, three quarters of the energy is consumed and 70 percent of the anthropogenic greenhouse gases are emitted. The inhabitants are the key players in the implementation of sustainable urban development ; the city is the center of their lives.

The thematic priorities of the Science Year include:

Science Year 2016 * 17 - Seas and Oceans

The Science Year in 2016 * 2017 will take place for the first time over a period of two calendar years and has the motto " Seas and oceans : Discover, use, protect". It is dedicated to a part of the planet that stretches over 71 percent of the earth's surface and is largely unexplored. An important aspect of the topic is the protection of the oceans from the effects of climate change , raw material extraction and litter . The Year of Science aims to initiate a debate about the extent to which the resources of the sea can be used and how the threat to the marine environment from microplastics , warming and acidification can be countered. Another focus is the social importance of the seas and coastal regions as cultural areas, places of longing and travel destinations.

The Science Year of the Seas and Oceans is co-designed by the “System Earth” unit, which deals with coastal , marine and polar research within the BMBF . As part of the Science Year, the science journalist Marie Heidenreich created several interactive web reports that provide insights into German marine research.

Science year 2018 - working worlds of the future

The Science Year 2018 is dedicated to the topic of working worlds of the future. Digitization, alternative working models and the development of artificial intelligence are facing research and civil society with new opportunities and challenges: How will people work in the future?
