Dr. Kristin Werner
Kristin Werner coordinates the Experimental Laboratory for Science Communication »CollActive Materials«. funded by the Berlin University Alliance.
Within the project, she speculates with scientists and citizens about the role active materials might play in possible futures. As project manager and science communicator, she organizes the framework of the participatory project and tries out new formats to connect science and society.
In 2019, Kristin completed her PhD in physical chemistry at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society. She then worked at Futurium in Berlin as a science communicator, bringing science, business, and society into conversation about positive futures. As project manager, she was responsible for the development of the Futurium theme booklet, which has since accompanied visitors on their journey through possible futures.
