Description

In this talk we present outreach activities of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Goettingen (MPS, Germany). The MPS regularly organizes outreach events, such as the "night of science" in cooperation with the University of Goettingen, guided tours and public talks for MPS visitors, and "Max Planck goes to school", and also new approaches, like cinematic documentaries, are explored.
Moreover employees of the MPS take part in external events. We would also like to address how to deal with controversial public opinions about current scientific topics. In addition we aim to get in contact with young school students to provide an insight into the scientific life as a researcher.
