"Science year 2006" is dedicated to computer science

The “science year 2005”, commemorating Albert Einstein, was celebrated by a closing ceremony in Berlin yesterday. Next year’s “science year” will focus on computer science.

As always, the “science year” will aim to raise the curiosity of the general public for new research trends and results. The special focus on computer science is intended to celebrate a young branch of science that is fundamental to our way of living today and remains central to areas such as health and sports, communication and culture. With this initiative the organizers – the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Science in Dialogue (WiD) and several partners from industry, science and culture - want to increase the awareness of the importance and the possibilities of computer science.
