The aim of the project is to bring the research projects of the SPP and results to the general public. As formats we will use a web blog and a roadshow to adress students (high school and university), teachers as well as a broad public - with some affinity to science. The blog will be in shape of a personalized diary (SPP-Diary), but will also contain scienctific information (Scientific-Diary). The roadshow is tend to be a "box of modules", consting of lectures/discussion, poster, science exhibition, science slam and if desiered a practical public lab cours.
