Discover the Long Night of Science in Leipzig: fun for everyone!

On June 20, 2025 thelong night of scienceinstead of. This informative event organized by the Leipzig University of Technology, Economics and Culture (HTWK Leipzig) is organized, opens its doors from6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Admission is free and is aimed atchildren and adults.

Visitors can look forward to an exciting program that includes interactive exhibits and hands-on stations. Topics of the event include, for example:Production of wind power rotor blades, theAerial water harvesting, as well as theSpare parts production and packaging technology.

A variety of exhibits and hands-on stations

In theFoyer of the Nieper buildingThere are numerous hands-on stations on sustainable materials such asCarbon concreteandWood. Guests experience exciting experimental setups, for example inbikelab, where electricity is generated while you ride a bike. Also that oneinteractive geotechnical sandboxpromises to captivate researchers big and small.

In the1st floorvisitors canRobot footballand games likeTic Tac Toecompete against a Scara robot. Guests can also expect secrets from the...Laboratories: CNC milling techniques, electrical engineering and digital reconstructions are presented here, and 3D printing and SEM technology are also part of the program. In theSanitary towervisitors gain insights into thesewer route, while thatHydraulic engineering laboratorydraws attention to the dangers of flash floods.

Focus on smoke detectors

The topic is particularly importantSmoke detector, which illuminates not only theoretical but practical aspects. Every year in Germany there are about350 fire and smoke deaths, which led to the introduction of a smoke detector requirement in all federal states. The sense of smell is often switched off during sleep, and the loud warning tones of the smoke detectors are intended to warn of toxic smoke.

As part of thelong night of sciencewill be the Demonstration smoke chamber can be seen, which shows how smoke detectors work in an emergency. A newly developed measuring method is presented that proves that batteries do not need to be changed as often as previously assumed. Information on this topic will be presented in various presentations7:40 p.m., 8:40 p.m. and 9:40 p.mprovided.

The event is organized by Leipzig research institutions in cooperation with the city of Leipzig and, with its wide range of topics and activities, offers activities for children as well as the program forChemical detectivesor aEscape game, as well as exciting insights for adults. Registrations are required and can be made via the HTWK website.
