Communicating Complex Issues:
Applied Research and Advocacy on Digital Sovereignty & Climate Change

This project addresses the following questions:

• How can complex issues be communicated to a broad audience (in terms of design and didactics)?
• What are the transfer potentials between classical science communication and communication methods in design, art and activist communication strategies?
• What influence do "alternative" forms of knowledge transfer have on knowledge transfer, behavioural change, etc.?
