The Sharing Science (SSC) research area addresses the societal and educational implications of our Cluster’s quantum research. With four dedicated topics, SSC explores explanatory competences, outreach formats, and the historical and societal aspects of quantum technologies. This requires an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from social and educational sciences with physics. 

Key Objectives:

  • Enhance understanding and communication of quantum concepts through research on explanatory competences and effective outreach formats.
  • Examine historical and societal perspectives of quantum technologies to broaden our outlook.
  • Foster interdisciplinary collaboration to enrich our assessment and promotion of the technological impact of quantum research. 

Our commitment to Sharing Science encompasses not just research, but also direct applications in outreach and science communication, such as our innovative "The Arts meet Quantum" program. We prioritize the training of early-career researchers, ensuring that these initiatives are underpinned by scientifically validated and empirically-based research. Through SSC, we aim to facilitate meaningful dialogue with society and enhance public engagement with quantum science.
