Rise and shine to science

Get out of your bed - stop pillow fights and do science instead! This was the motto of this years’ Dresden Science Night on 14 June 2019. Between 6 pm and 1 am, the TU Dresden institutes CRTD, B CUBE and BIOTEC welcomed more than 2,000 visitors. Around 200 scientists from 40 research groups presented a family-friendly programme in the CRTD building.

The guests were introduced to the world of molecules, cells and tissues, axolotl, bees, mice and zebrafish. They admired, experimented, listened to a puppet show, various talks and six young science slammers. The CRTD attracted numerous international guests as many of the presentations were offered both, in German and English.

Around 2,500 researchers from universities, non-university research institutions and science-related companies took part in the Dresden Science Night. This year, the TU Dresden was once again the largest contributor to the Science Night with around 350 programme items.
