Under the motto „Shape the change“ the Federal Minister of Education Professor Johanna Wanka opened the "Wissenschaftsjahr 2013 - Die demografische Chance/Science Year 2013 - The demographic opportunity" in Berlin’s Museum of Natural History on February 26th. In the Science Year 2013 the focus is on three fields of action: We are living longer. We are becoming fewer. We are becoming more diverse. Thus the Science year 2013 will encourage the societal debate about fields of action, challenges and opportunities that come up with demographic change.
As part of the kick-off of the Science year the Leibniz Assoociation‘s exhibition "Zukunft leben: Die demografische Chance/Live the Future: The Demographic Opportunity" was opened in Berlin’s Museum of Natural History. The exhibition will be open until April 2013. After that it will be travelling to Mainz, Dresden, Bochum, Bremerhaven and München
In nine generally understandable exhibition areas it will be shown how we will live in Tomorrow’s world, how we will work, have families, get old and reside. The exhibition is based on results and proposed solutions from science and research and the Leibniz Institute for Age Research participates with three exhibits.
