With the project "Knowledge transfer squared: Russian Studies", the Research Centre for East European Studies at the University of Bremen, in cooperation with the Grimme Online award-winner "dekoder.org" and the University of Basel wants to make academic studies of the subject part of the (media) discourse and to increase public awareness of Russia-related issues. To this end, innovative (multi-)media formats are being developed and tested for the purpose of online knowledge transfer, in order to reach specific target groups in a more efficient and convincing way.
