Public Engagement

Transparent communication of relevant research results by our scientists makes a valuable contribution in gaining knowledge and in advising relevant organizations from politics, business and society. 

On our health portals, we provide up-to-date, scientifically based knowledge about widespread diseases such as diabetes, allergies or lung diseases in an understandable form. Patients receive support in their self-responsible handling of illness and health.

We bring people together with our scientists so they can engage in direct dialog. Practical forums, seminars and digital projects help strengthen health literacy in society.

With specific educational offers for schools, we promote the comprehensible communication of research content in schools. Teachers get access to teaching materials and further training to help them strengthen their students' health literacy and to support them in dealing with their health in a responsible and self-determined manner.
