Short Description

The “Junge Uni” (Children´s University) is committed to science education of children and youngsters. The “School Activities“ promote the meeting between researchers and pupils of all ages during school time. School classes can either come to the university and attend a specific workshop, or if they wish, the Young University can also come directly to the schools and transform the school building into a place of science.
