ScienceStage.com: The hub for scientists, lectors and students
A wide forum for science - on an interdisciplinary, international and individual level.
ScienceStage.com, the only universal online portal for science, advanced teaching
and academic research, bridges a major gap in scientific research and learning.
ScienceStage.com is a virtual conference room, lecture hall, laboratory, library and
meeting venue all in one. It offers new methods of scientific presentation, scientific
discourse and academic knowledge transfer by using video clips, audio extracts and
text features. Research groups can be formed in the interests of academic networking.
Science is thereby linked to a global network, and finally made accessible to a broader
worldwide public.
The three founders of ScienceStage.com are Sebastian Burmester, Marko Bubke-Chau
and Dr. Heiko Krueger from Einheit.Berlin GmbH. They claim, "There has never been a
nything comparable to this portal. ScienceStage.com combines all imaginable features
of presenting, exchanging and discussing science."
Globalization has long since made its impact in the academic world. The framework of
a university is much too narrow for registering success in the world of work. Modern
means of communication offer new horizons for scientific teaching and research,
stretching well beyond the limits imposed by individual sciences and institutions.
ScienceStage.com is a multilingual, globally operating portal, which delivers answers
to the pressing scientific questions in this age of globalization, without having to bow
to any rigid constraints in terms of time or place.
Students also have much to gain from ScienceStage.com. Within a few clicks they are
able to keep direct track of events conducted by top-quality lecturers and professors
from all over the world. As the founders of ScienceStage.com put it, "This is like having
a piece of Harvard in Berlin, and at the same time having a piece of Berlin at Harvard."
Whether members prefer to operate in an unlimited worldwide community or within
select circles chosen by themselves, ScienceStage.com offers users a unique means of
finding answers to any questions raised in terms of scientific teaching, learning and
practice for the 21st century (www.sciencestage.com).
ScienceStage.com enables the following key features:
- Posting and accessing video and audio features (for instance, conferences, lectures,
presentations, interviews, reportages, documentary pieces, discussions)
- Posting and accessing text features (for instance, scientific evaluations, documentation,
details of study, lecture scripts)
- Comprehensive sharing functions: creating and updating a profile page or platforms,
for instance, for institutions, research institutes, scientific publishers, businesses or individuals
- Creating groups in various subject areas
- Commenting upon, evaluating and providing an external framework for all media
- Communicating by mail, networking function
- Complete indexing of contents
- Comprehensive search facilities
- Creating lists of favorites
- German and English (shortly also French and Spanish) language versions
