Lecture Series „Microbes@School“

Cooperation with `Schüler:innen Forschungszentrum Mittelhessen´

How can microbial research help make the world a better place? How do you become a researcher and what is the day-to-day routine?  A comprehensible insight into research where you can ask these and other questions right away. Every year we organize new lectures and are guests at a different school.

Young researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Marburg visit schools in Marburg in cooperation with the Schüler:innen Forschungszentrum Mittelhessen (SFM). Pupils, teachers, parents of all school types and all and everyone else interested, including those outside the school community, are warmly invited! After a talk (appr. 30 min.) there will be time for questions about science, everyday life in the lab or career paths. The events are held in German language.
