Science communication
Spaceflight shapes our everyday lives, yet for many people it remains abstract. Satellites, launch vehicles, earth observation and space policy are complex topics whose significance isn’t always obvious at first glance. IART wants to bridge this gap.
Making spaceflight understandable and tangible
Through our science communication, we present current research and technological developments in a clear, vivid way tailored to each audience. We combine the institute’s technical expertise with historical, political and social perspectives.
Who we’re here for
We address school pupils, students and experts as well as interested members of the public.
Dialogue, not a one-way street
Dialogue matters most to us. For us, science communication means more than passing on knowledge. We take up questions, bring different perspectives together and create space for discussion.
