Scientific landscape Zittau-Görlitz shows its skills
Experience the "Long Night of Science" in Upper Lusatia on July 1.
Scientific institutions in Görlitz and Zittau invite you to join the “OHA! Science Adventure” on July 1. Under this theme, institutes and universities in both cities will open their doors at 4:00 p.m. and vividly showcase their work through demonstrations, experiments, lectures, and many hands-on activities. The range of topics spans from live computer hacking to an immersion in the fascinating world of soil animals, all the way to experiencing what it’s like to be in the body of an older person. The detailed program is available at: www.abenteuer-wissenschaft.de.
“We want to give the region’s citizens a better understanding of the enormous variety of topics addressed at our research institutions and show how we develop solutions to societal issues and the challenges of the future,” explains University President Prof. Alexander Kratzsch.
”He adds: "We hope for intensive discussions and can certainly get one or two people excited about science."
“The idea for a joint research night was conceived at the beginning of the year and further developed by a working group made up of representatives from various institutes. The target audience also includes children—because they are the researchers of tomorrow—and there’s certainly plenty to marvel at,” promises Raj Kollmorgen, Prorector for Research at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and initiator of the event.
”A total of nine institutions are taking part in "OHA! Science Adventure". In both Zittau and Görlitz, the event will end at central locations with a special closing program lasting into the night. Admission is free of charge.
When: July 1, 2022, 4:00 p.m. – midnight
