From Research to Impact: Outreach and Knowledge Transfer Across the German LHC Community — •Daniel Heuchel, Kim Wegner, and Sophia Haves — LHC Germany Office, Hamburg, Germany

The LHC-ErUM-FSP Office coordinates outreach and knowledge- and technology-transfer activities within the German LHC community. All 29 German universities and research institutes participating in ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb are supported through structures that enhance communication, visibility, and strategic interaction beyond the academic environment. These activities reinforce public engagement, enable interdisciplinary exchange, and highlight the broader impact of frontier research at the LHC. In this context, latest strategic emphasis is placed on fostering and supporting knowledge transfer towards industry and on communicating the societal benefit of research outcomes.

In this contribution, outreach and transfer initiatives of the LHC-ErUM-FSP office will be presented, newly developed formats will be outlined, and their contribution to building the bridge between the German LHC community, our society, industry, and politics will be illustrated.
