AHA - The Science Communication Hub

Here you can see information about our website.

This website is about AHA.

AHA is an initiative.

What is an initiative?

An initiative is a joint effort by people.

People start an initiative when they have a common goal.

Because things are often easier together.

For example, when they want to solve a problem.
Or if they want to try something new.

The name AHA

The exact name of AHA is

AHA - The Science Communication Hub.

The Science Communication Hub is in English.

That's how you say it:

Se Seiense Kommjunikäische Hab.

That means roughly:

A place where we talk about science.

 

We have named our initiative AHA.

Because we say Aha when we have understood something.

And we want many people to understand something through our initiative.

What is science communication?

We at the AHA initiative work together with many people.

These people work at a university, for example.

Or at a museum.

They do research and find out new things.

Such people are also known as scientists.

 

These people do science communication.

Science communication means:

The scientists talk about their science.

They explain difficult things.

This is how many people learn about science.

And many people learn something new.

 

Our goal is:

In Bavaria, scientists should talk more with the people.
Scientists should work well with other people.
So everyone learns something new.

We find:

This is important for our democracy.

Democracy means:

In a democracy, the citizens decide.

You elect the politicians.

 

When citizens know a lot,

then they will find it easier to make decisions at elections.
