MS Wissenschaft
On May 14, the MS Wissenschaft began its annual tour through Germany - with an interactive exhibit on board from the Barkhausen Institut and the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (Fraunhofer IIS). Under the title “On the Move in the Web - How Much Energy Does Mobile Internet Consume?”, the exhibit explores the growing energy consumption caused by mobile data use.
The exhibition was officially opened by Dorothee Bär, Federal Minister for Research, Technology, and Space Affairs. Also in attendance were Dr. Simone Schwanitz, Secretary General of the Max Planck Society and Chair of the Shareholders’ Meeting of Wissenschaft im Dialog, as well as Dr. Benedikt Fecher, Managing Director of Wissenschaft im Dialog.
