We publish all press releases relating to research results, research projects and scientific publications on Bluesky, Mastodon and X.
We have installed a second instance for those active in the world of scientific communication, particularly our member organisations. Connect with other idw organisations to exchange ideas and discuss your topics. If you would like to register for this instance or have any questions, please contact the idw-Team.
On Facebook and Instagram we share the latest technical news from Informationsdienst Wissenschaft and let you know which events we will be attending. We also post the most-read press releases from our website several times a week.
We use LinkedIn to connect with our members, partner organisations and public relations stakeholders for scientific institutions. We share impressions of events and provide information about current services and news from idw.
Our appealing magazine makes the search and sort functions even more convenient. Benefit from the precise provision and display of topics that you search for or prefer. You can even bookmark your searches to get an updated view on your next visit. You can also choose to see only news from certain organisations.
Knowledge thrives on connections. That’s why you see related results on the same topic below individual news articles. Accredited journalists can see all embargoed news once they log in to the idw magazine.
The smartphone app from Informationsdienst Wissenschaft really is smart. You can fine-tune the information that appears on your screen as push notifications. Commonly used keywords from our archive are used as filter criteria, which you can select or deselect. You can also make multiple selections and save them as keyword lists.
