efzn Contact Service Science – Economy / Society / Politics
“Technology is the answer, but what is the question?” (Jacques Neirynck)
Achieving a climate-neutral way of life is the challenge facing our globalized world. To successfully meet this challenge, we must work together to effectively transform the energy system. To this end, we at the efzn contact point combine the knowledge of stakeholders from science with that of stakeholders from business, society, and politics.
Success depends not only on the quantity and quality of the available expertise, but also and especially on the opportunities and possibilities for bringing different perspectives and knowledge bases into contact with each other. It requires provoked coincidence.
With this in mind, we would like to
- open new doors for you by helping you establish, maintain, and expand contacts with each other, as well as working with you to gather ideas and identify current and future developments,
- create new spaces for thinking at the cutting edge of research by organizing discourse between science and business/society/politics - to foster serendipitous discoveries,
- support you to identify relevant partners from science, business, society, and politics for your innovative ideas and approaches, inspiring them, and winning them over for further exchange and cooperation.
