University & Society

The House of Science aims to familiarise its visitors with science and research through exhibitions, lectures and discussions. School classes are informed about the latest findings from the world of research, and there are regular discussion rounds with teachers and representatives from industry.

Students can acquire practical skills and gain experience in project work as part of the various collaborations, while the partners can benefit from new perspectives and utilise scientific findings through the cooperation with the university.

Old and young study together: senior citizens can attend selected courses at the university as part of the senior citizens' study programme.
