The questions underlying the research programme of the CRC 1242 and the scientific methods that are used to address them will be communicated to a general audience interested in science and technology. To this end, hands-on experiments and special exhibits will be realized, which attract attention and curiosity and which are inviting to experiment and tinker with. In the long run this will lead to an "ultrafast experimental lab" for the general public, including high-school students. Further measures of TP Ö include press relations, an image brochure, and a web presence, directly addressing a broad audience.
