In this interdisciplinary projects executed by research groups, communicative ideas are developed using an innovative approach and new formats of exchange are tested out for target groups that have largely been ignored in the past. The focus of this call for Experimental Science Communication Laboratories is on the development and practical implementation of new models and methods for science communication.
