ExtraSchicht am Campus Duisburg der Uni Duisburg-Essen

In the organizer's words:

Knowledge creates the future

Where coal was once mined, the future is now being created - out of curiosity, courage and creativity. Here, the "raw material" is knowledge, not mined underground, but in laboratories, workshops and clever minds. Science has a lasting impact on the Ruhr region: from energy and mobility to water, materials and digitalization. The research ranges from tiny quantum dots and nanoparticles to huge galaxies: electricity from hydrogen and fuel cells, humanoid robots, applied AI, exciting technology and a look under the electron microscope.

Open doors and exciting experiments bring science to life. An evening full of discoveries shows how research is shaping the future - lively, inspiring and hands-on.
