Every two years in November, Leibniz University Hannover opens its doors to visitors for a whole evening.
Take a look behind the scenes of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science - with guided tours, lectures and exhibitions.
Children and adults are invited to slip into the role of a civil engineer or a geodesist during hands-on activities.
