11:35 → 11:55 Discussion - how to reach out impactfully?

• Studies show, that topics which work the best with students in order to raise their interest to study physics are: treating diseases with particle accelerators, understand big bang, detecting smuggles weapons, study volcanoes and pyramids or northern lights....
  Can we think about list of subjects which would attract the best the interest of students / public and focus on writing on these?

• How to make the information we try to prepare best disseminated, what would be the best means of communication apart from our IPPOG RDB, and how to get this information to media and teachers, how to help them to use it for students?

Speakers: All WG members , Sarah Maria Zoechling (University of Vienna (AT))
