Abstract. The importance of networking individual science comunication activities within a region has been observed and led to the formation of the Initiative Youth and Science in 2004 in the Metropolitan Region Rhein-Neckar. This network has attracted several partners in the meantime, including university and research insititutions, science centres as well as projects for gifted pupils. Some of them will be described in more detail below.
