The WWU, through the Expedition Münsterland, directs attention to many stunning and exciting scientific hotspots in the Münsterland region. When taking science into consideration, Münsterland emerges as a region especially worth living in. Past events of the Expedition Münsterland, such as the exhibit “Poverty in a rich city”, meteorite-watching in Borken, where an actual meteorite fell decades ago, exploring the archaeological site of a cemetery form the early stone age in Schmerlecke and an exhibit and panel discussions about “Climate Change in the Münsterland region”, which took place in the Ice basement in Altenberge have been extremely successful and very-well received by the general public. This conference seeks to bring this debate closer to the public. Through the exchange of ideas and opinions, the scientific hotspots for 2011 and 2012 will be further developed by all of those involved.

The conference is presented in German with proceedings later to be produced in English
