Über das Projekt History of Science ON CALL

History of Science ON CALL sammelt und verdichtet zwei Informationsströme—Forschung and Bildung—die für Krisen, einschließlich langwieriger disasters, relevant sind. Der Bereich Forschung besteht aus kurzformatigen Videointerviews, während der Bereich Bildung vorhandene Ressourcen und Materialien - wissenschaftliche Lehre und Unterrichtsmaterialien - sammelt und präsentiert, um ihre Reichweite zu vergrößern.

Über dieses Projekt:

Wissen ist eine der wichtigsten Ressourcen der Menschen, um mit Krisen umzugehen. Auch die Geisteswissenschaften mobilisieren ihre Kräfte, um die COVID-19 Pandemie zu bewältigen. Hier mehr erfahren:
