Book a Scientist - Speed Dating with Science

On November 8, curious minds are invited to a new edition of "Book a Scientist". In this format, initiated by the Leibniz Association, Leibniz researchers answer questions on topics that touch everyday life. This time, eleven scientists from the IOER are taking part.

The IOER is represented by eleven scientists in this edition of "Book a Scientist".

How many materials are in buildings and how can a material cadastre help to determine future quantities of construction waste and their recycling potential? What reserves of building land and what inner development potentials of cities exist in Germany? Why are we simply not succeeding in making the transition to sustainable living? How can we still meet housing requirements in view of the need to save land? How can we protect the climate without harming nature? How can public procurement contribute to sustainable development? Is reconnecting with nature a key to triggering changes towards sustainability? How can apps help with climate adaptation? What are the prospects for prefabricated housing estates in eastern German cities? What should modern production structures look like? And how do you motivate building owners to renovate for energy efficiency?

At "Book a Scientist", interested parties can now book an exclusive, virtual conversation with our scientists* on all these topics and 100 more. A complete overview and further information on the event can be found here: www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de/bookascientist.

The talks are partly offered in German and English.
