What are bacteria? How can a single-celled organism become a multicellular organism? What is a biofilm? Why are microbes important?
Discover the fascinating world of microbes in the traveling exhibition "Bakteriopolis"! It will be on display on Mommsenstraße as part of the Sustainability Week.
Bacteria and microbes are essential for the sustainable preservation of ecosystems. They also play an important role in agriculture, waste management and environmentally friendly product production.
The exhibition offers interactive stations for visitors of all ages, from experiments to arts-and-crafts activities, the microbial world can be experienced by everyone. "Bakteriopolis" promotes participatory research and makes complex concepts easily accessible.

If a household appliance no longer works or sewing work is needed, a visit to the RepairCafé on campus can help. This self-help workshop helps visitors to hopefully get their broken appliance back in working order under the guidance of tech-savvy volunteers.
The next RepairCafé will take place on the campus on June 18th at 5:00 and 7:30 pm. Anyone who would like free support and advice on repairs is welcome. This RepairCafé takes place as part of the regular repair events, which are held every 3rd Tuesday of the month in the SLUB Makerspace in the Drepunct Library (Zellescher Weg 17). Not only the volunteers of the RepairCafé Dresden/ Freital initiative provide support, but also SLUB staff with knowledge and equipment ranging from 3D printers to sewing machines.
In addition to repairing things, the focus is also on the café character. Visitors to the RepairCafé will be able to talk to each other over coffee and cake.
