Tue | 07/02/2019 | 17:18 Climate Change Workshops Since March 2019, regular events have been taking place in the experimental field of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, bringing students into contact with scientific experts following the weekly "Fridays For Future" demonstrations. We support the dialogue with science and society with a series of workshops on the topics of climate change, species extinction as well as the agricultural, transport and energy transition and the conflicts associated with these topics. Workshops were given by researchers from the Museum of Natural History as well as from partner institutions and universities.
Tue | 07/02/2019 | 17:03 Advisory board of the experimental field Within our exhibitions at the Museum of Natural History we created an area for exchange and participation in the science of our museum: the experimental field.
