Science Train stops in Bremen
The exhibition train of the Max Planck Society will offer interesting insights into science and technology.
Science Express
Do you ever ask yourself what the world will look like 20 years from now? How will we live then? With the “Science Express” exhibition train we want to give all of our visitors, and young people in particular, a general idea of which scientific fields are evolving globally in a particularly dynamic and promising way, and how they will influence our lives in the coming two decades.
However, it is not just the aim of the science train to make research and development attractive to young people as a future career option. The “Science Express” would basically like to show how we need today’s natural and life sciences to ensure a positive future for both ourselves and our entire civilisation. Science and research, which contribute almost three percent to Germany’s national value creation, constitute an independent sector of the economy – not just in Germany. Research has long been carried out in a context of international competition. The research topics are not just very exciting in themselves, the results achieved will also help in achieving the breakthrough to a sustainable economic and social model.
Science and technology have a particularly important role to play in a country as poor in natural resources as Germany. This will be even truer in the future when many of the Earth’s natural resources run low and will no longer be able to meet the needs of a growing global population. This trend concerns not only oil, natural gas, food and drinking water, but other resources such as low-grade ores, salts for fertilisers and medically-relevant natural materials.
The “Science Express” abducts its visitors into the world of tomorrow and provides forward-looking information about topics and developments that are only emerging. As a result, it is not concerned with explaining information that is already available in a better way or justifying certain technologies. The focus is on emerging trends and possibilities that are first coming into view and that must be faced up to. The future is being shaped today.
