StuFoExpo presents: Fail Better – The Art of Failing in Resarch
What do you do when a research project doesn't deliver what it's supposed to? When experiments fail, data doesn't show anything or the hypothesis doesn't work?
Quite simply: talk about it.
This year's StuFoExpo will be a little different. On December 5, we will celebrate the art of failure with you - openly, reflectively and with a wink.
In a small, protected setting, students will report on projects that went differently than planned - and what they learned in the process.
Anyone who wants to make a contribution can bring 2-3 people along as guests.
In preparation, we offer a workshop that helps you to communicate failures constructively - and at the same time you learn how to present in a stylish and captivating way. Whether pitch & poster or science slam - you decide how you want to present your project.
We are looking for contributions!
Do you have a project that went differently than planned?
Do you want to share your findings with others?
Would you like to contribute to a positive error culture at universities?
Become part of Fail Better @ StuFoExpo and submit your contributions.

Keep your eyes and ears open from the winter term!
We are already busy planning a big event in spring 2026.
Let us surprise you!
