Focus on public relations: transfer of knowledge and promotion of young researchers

To free science from the ivory tower, and to make the findings from the field of neuroscience accessible to the general public, these are the objectives of the SFB 874's outreach project. Pupils, Bachelor students, non-specialist researchers and the interested public are the main target groups for the events and actions.
