Welcome to the
Knowledge Media Research Center!
Knowledge acquisition, its exchange, and communication within innovative technologies
are the core research topics at the Knowledge Media Research Center in Tuebingen. Study
matters are classic forms of teaching as well as in-class education in higher education
and school domains, together with possibilities of learning in informal settings,
as in museums, the internet and workspaces.
A multidisciplinary team of highly trained scientists from cognitive and educational
sciences, human behavioral sciences and social sciences is completed
by experts from media technology and computer science. By cooperating closely
with public and private institutions and by transferring research results into
real world applications, the institute makes a substantial contribution to enable innovative media-based teaching and learning scenarios.
On our website we provide further insights into our organizational structure and the research conducted at the institute.

The ScienceCampus Tuebingen as the first nationwide ScienceCampus has an exposed position and is groundbreaking for further cooperations between institutes of the Leibniz Association and universities. Now the Executive Board of the Leibniz Association appreciated this by an extraordinary funding for the time from 2011 to 2013 of 900000 Euro. Today Professor Mayer handed the accordant decision on to the direction of the ScienceCampus, Prof. Dr. Friedrich W. Hesse, director of the Knowledge Media research Center, and Prof. Dr. Bernd Engler, rector of the University of Tubingen. Beside strategic discussions Professor Mayer, Professor Engler and Professor Hesse walked through the Alte Frauenklinik of the University of Tubingen.
