Research & Teaching

As a university science museum, the Forum Wissen is more than just an exhibition center. It is a place of active research and teaching.

Forum Wissen is currently developing formats for interdisciplinary research-based teaching with objects from the Göttingen collections.

Exhibiting together with students and teaching staff is also being expanded as a method of science communication. The aim is to communicate current research to the general public.

A wonderful example of this is the collection showcase in the Forum Wissen. It is stocked by the collections of the University of Göttingen.
