The Brandenburg Science Slam goes right across the state of Brandenburg and takes place at the seven locations of the presences centres. The presence centres of the universities in the state of Brandenburg bring science directly to the knowledge-hungry people in the regions. The patron of the slam, Dr. Manja Schüle, Minister for Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg, emphasises the importance of this event: "Scientific topics in a crisp, short and easy-to-understand format: that's what you get at the 2nd Brandenburg Science Slam - not in a lecture theatre or seminar room, but in a brewery, culture factory or hangar, for example. On stage, researchers not only have to prove their clever minds, but also their performance potential. Because that is the goal of all science communication: it should reach people. The closer to life and the more, the better. That's why I value the Brandenburg Science Slam as a format so much: The enthusiasm for science and research is brought to the state in an entertaining way. I'd like to thank the seven presence centres at our universities for organising this event and I'm already looking forward to the exciting, informative and innovative presentations. With this in mind: clear the stage for science!"

About the presence offices of the universities
The Presence Offices act as a link between society, business and science and offer direct access to the entire Brandenburg science system in the rural region. They plan events and campaigns, provide information to prospective students and arrange final theses. They network with companies, chambers and associations and promote the cooperation of science with business, politics and civil society. The concept for expanding the presence offices of the universities refers to the implementation of the Brandenburg Transfer Strategy for improving the cooperation of science with business, politics and civil society. Further information on the events and the presence centres can be found at www.praesenzstellen.de.
The University of Potsdam, together with the Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences, operates the presence office in Velten.
