history

The Wissenschaftsladen Hannover eV was originally founded in 1986 by students at the University of Hannover , mainly from natural science courses. Social science aspects were already included in the founding year. The most prominent founding member was the book author and sociologist Harald Welzer . The main aim was to make academic knowledge available to the population and to advise them on environmental issues. After a productive period in the 1990s, especially in collaboration with the Ecolog Institute, the science shop moved to the Faust cultural center in 2007 .
