Meet EMBL at the “Explore Science” festival, 21-25 June 2017

What do microscopes, cell-cookies and yeast have in common? They will all be part of the EMBL stall at the science festival “Explore Science” held at Luisenpark, Mannheim (Germany) between 21 and 25 June 2017.

The stall (station 35) invites school classes between the 5th and 7th grade as well as families to discover the “Energy of Life”. In a variety of games, hands-on activities and experiments, visitors can investigate the central question of how living organisms produce energy.

The “Explore Science” festival, organised by the Klaus-Tschira-Stiftung, aims at children from the age of three upwards, families, and science enthusiastic adults. It attracts over 35,000 visitors annually. This year marks the first appearance of EMBL at the festival. All EMBL activities at “Explore Science” are run by the European Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences, EMBL’s education facility.

Join us at the EMBL stall to meet EMBL scientists and explore the fascinating world of biology.
