Three researchers from the School shared their expertise with the general public in an entertaining way at the “Science on Tap” event.

The researchers successfully facilitated an engaging exchange of knowledge with the public during the first-ever two-day edition of the traditional “Science on Tap” event.

The School was also represented with three presentations. Read the lecturers’ feedback here:

“Is AI Really Stealing My Job? How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Our Economy” by Prof. Jan Recker at Hannes & Hanna’s Living Room, June 3

“As a lecturer, it was refreshing to speak without a stage, without distance, and without aids. According to many attendees, it was good to finally receive a thorough explanation and have terms put into context—terms that are so widely disseminated in the media—as was the case with my topic, ‘Is AI Stealing My Job?’ One can only say to both the university and the audience: ‘keep it up.’ This is how the mutual exchange between academia and society works.”

“Learning Barriers – and What We Can Do About Them!” by Prof. Dorothea Alewell at the Kultorhaus Eichtalpark, June 4

“In a small, living-room-like space with about 20 attendees, interest in the topic of learning blocks was palpable across all generations—from young people in vocational training and college to middle-aged professionals and older adults seeking to overcome childhood-rooted learning blocks in their later years. Educators also attended to learn how to help their students overcome learning blocks.”

“What Impact Does GenAI Have on the Music Industry?” by Prof. Michel Clement at Red Dog Bar & Café, June 4

“Chatting with researchers at the bar about their current projects? All of that is possible at ‘Wissen vom Fass.’ I was delighted not only by my music-loving audience but also by the fact that the person who came up with the idea was there. Prof. Dr. Jan Louis, a physicist at the University of Hamburg and DESY, brought the idea of bringing science to pubs back from Israel 10 years ago.”
