In June 2024, we had the great opportunity to be part of the IdeenExpo in Hanover. The IdeenExpo is Europe‘s largest youth event for technology and natural sciences!
IdeenExpo aims to inspire young minds in the STEM fields and foster future experts.
We had the chance to support the ESERO (European Space Education Office) exhibition stand, thanks to our PIs Susanne Hüttemeister, Ralf-Jürgen Dettmar and Dominik Bomans, who are also ESERO partners.
In collaboration with ESERO, a lot of activities for school kids took place, like workshops, experiments, e.g. with our Kelvin-Helmholtz tube, chats and discussions.
With all that, we had the chance to reach out to thousands of kids - aiming to spark curiosity and love for science.
The IdeenExpo will take place again in 2026 and we are already looking forward to that!

We are pleased to invite you to the public lecture “Kosmologischen Rätseln auf der Spur – die Euclid-Mission" (in German).
Hendrik Hildebrandt will take you on a journey through the big questions about the evolution and fate of the universe. He will explain how measurements of the matter distribution in the cosmos, using the subtle effects of weak gravitational lensing, help us understand the mysterious dark energy. These measurements are the goal of Euclid, the recently launched ESA and NASA satellite, and you will hear more about its mission.
