Book a Scientist!

For School Classes and Courses: our M4C-Scientists can visit you at school!

May 13, 2024

Research: Would it be a good fit for me?  How does the daily routine work, what aspects are particularly enjoyable, and what happens if something doesn't work out? You can ask these and other questions when researchers from the Marburg Excellence Cluster 'Microbes for Climate – M4C' visit your class. They will provide an insight into their research topic and then answer any questions, according to the motto: 'Ask me anything'. The visit can be conducted in German, English or bilingual and can be adapted to the core curriculum and the class's level of knowledge (from 5th grade Realschule to LK Gymnasium), in consultation with the teachers.
