On October 3, it has become a nice tradition that many doors to companies and institutes are opened with the help of the “Sendung mit der Maus” show, giving children an insight into many exciting areas.
Together with the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy and the AIRUB, we once again took part and were able to offer a varied program. Around 80 children between the ages of 4 and 16 spent a fun-filled day at our faculty with experiments on flying rockets, shining stars, delicious physicist ice cream and much more.
More on the "Maus Türöffner Tag" can be found here.

Due to the recent changes in X’s structure and function as well as its method of communication, SFB1491 no longer perceives X as a suitable platform to convey our information appropriately.
We are therefore following the example of Ruhr University Bochum, terminating our communication over X for the time being.
You will find all the latest news and insights of SFB1491 on our Instagram and LinkedIn channels.
For a detailed report, please find the RUB’s statement here.
