Thu | 04/21/2016 | 10:21 Society and Nature Society and Nature View on the exhibition hall with visitors from the second floor The Science Programme focusses on the interactions between society and nature. Ideally, knowledge about and for nature arises in dialogue and exchange with the public. All activities of the Science Programme aim to better understand, analyse, communicate and further develop knowledge and decision-making processes in the field of nature and biodiversity, together with various stakeholders. Based on excellent and relevant research, we create interactive experimental and action spaces, and develop event formats with various groups from civil society, politics and business.
