The future of energy: this is the motto of the Year of Science 2010 in Germany, which begins on 22nd January. The programme is organised by Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research together with the Science Initiative. The aim of the years of science, which were launched in 2000 in Germany, is to stimulate greater public interest in questions surrounding science.
The Year of Science 2010 is the first interdisciplinary approach to the project which takes up one of the most crucial questions of our time: the future of energy. How can we succeed in producing water and heat sustainably, economically and in an environmentally friendly way? Which prospective solutions are currently being addressed in energy research?
The Year of Science in Germany is focusing on this and other key questions surrounding the supply of energy with three broad thematic areas. How long can fossil fuels provide us with energy? What are the consequences of subterranean CO2 storage? Answers to these questions are expected from the theme: “Using energy responsibly: research for climate protection”.
The thematic complex “Using energy intelligently: research for increased efficiency” is concerned with energy saving at home, at work and through consumer behaviour. The thematic complexes “Developing alternative forms of energy” and “Understanding energy globally” look at how renewable energies can be usefully employed, and how conflicts over the just distribution of energy can be solved.
Highlights in the year of energy include, for example, the Science Summer, which is taking place in Magdeburg in June, the so-called 'Night of the Profs' at the University of Kiel and the online simulation game about energy supplies in 2050. The exhibition ship MS Wissenschaft will once again be touring Germany’s waterways with information about the social, political and economic significance of energy issues.
