About

Prof. Dr. Imke Hoppe

studied Applied Media Studies, specialising in media technology, media research and media production at the Technical University of Ilmenau. She completed her doctorate in the field of "Empirical Media Research and Political Communication" at the Institute for Media and Communication Studies (IfMK/TU Ilmenau). For her dissertation titled 'Climate protection as a media effect', she led an interdisciplinary team to develop and publish a 3D online simulation game on energy saving, which used an online experimental study to test the effectiveness of various dramaturgical and learning theory approaches on knowledge, attitudes and behavioural intentions. As deputy head of department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT, she was responsible for the conception, development and evaluation of digital educational media for children and young people (e.g. for KIKA, school book publishers and state media authorities). At the Cluster of Excellence CliSAP ('Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction') at the University of Hamburg, Imke Hoppe conducted research on climate change from the perspective of media recipients as part of the DFG Priority Programme SPP 1409 'Science and the Public'. Imke Hoppe focussed in particular on media coverage of the world climate conferences and the IPCC reports and their effects on public opinion, knowledge and political participation on climate change. As a PostDoc at the Chair of Journalism and Communication Studies, in particular digitalised communication and sustainability, she investigated social media discussions in five countries (Germany, UK, Canada, USA, South Africa) in the interdisciplinary research project 'Sustainable Lives: Food Choices as Politics and Lifestyle' in a comparative content analysis. Subsequently, Imke Hoppe worked at the DLR Institute 'System Engineering for Future Mobility' on the topic of autonomous public transport in the context of the mobility transition.

Since April 2023, Imke Hoppe has been appointed to the professorship 'Science Communication and Climate Education' (tenure track) in the Department of Geography at the Faculty of Earth Sciences.
