Science,the Universeand Everything

Ever since “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” has been published, the number 42 is known as “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”.

Similar to Douglas Adams’ work, we believe asking the right questions is the key to success in science and achieving academic excellence.

We support researchers on their journey to ask decisive questions and help them find answers beyond the number 42.

science 42

We offer practical training for doctoral students on science communication, presentations, career development and everyday life in science. With the perfect blend of expertise, experience, creativity and enthusiasm, we support science where it matters most: in the training of researchers and in the implementation of tailored science communication.

In addition to courses for doctoral students, science 42 is also active as a science communication agency. We design and implement formats and media for our clients. Thanks to our strong network, we offer a broad portfolio, from hands-on formats to media production. Because science communication can be anything, except boring.
