The awards ceremony at Berlin´s Tempodrom was celebrated as an environment gala with more than 1.000 exclusively invited guests from economy, science, politics, culture and media, among them German actors like Christiane Paul, Nora Tschirner or Hannes Jaenicke.
“Climate change challenges the collaboration of experts from the media and research and makes new cooperations necessary,” says Jürgen Kropp, PIK project leader. “The basis for successful science communication are of course topnotch scientific results”. The research project Climate Media Factory is supported by the Federal Government and develops new media formats on the subject of global warming.
