In short project pitches, Dr. Julia Pöhlitz (DiP-FaiReSyst), Jan Lukas Wenzel (DiP-SMART Agroforestry) and Heinrich Rennebaum (DiP-IQ-Hemp) presented their research priorities. Ideas were then discussed at thematic tables and in moderated sessions, profiles were exchanged and concrete initial concepts were developed.

A key finding: Our research projects are successfully matched with their science communicators and coaches! Over the next six months, the teams will work together intensively to test innovative communication approaches and create new formats for the visibility of research in structural change.

With Kerstin Hoppenhaus , DiP-iQ-Hanf has an experienced science journalist and strategist at its side. In the future, DiP-SMART Agroforestry will be coached by Annette Schneider-Reinhardt , who brings extensive knowledge of the Central German mining area and experience in initiating and accompanying citizen participation processes. In the coming months, DiP-FaiReSyst will be supported by Julia Mayer , who will focus on needs-oriented and solution-oriented communication.

The crowning finale will be the presentation of the results at the SILBERSALZ Science & Media Festival in Halle (Saale) October 29 – November 2, 2025.

The DiP participants are very much looking forward to the creative cooperation. We are already very excited about the communication approaches and outputs.
