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.
Nacht, die Wissen schafft 2023
Insights into civil and environmental engineering:
- Guided tours - including wind energy research at the Test Centre for Support Structures.
- Experiments - including MicroWind demonstrator, shape memory steel, secrets of the coastal landscape, extremes in the water cycle
- Exhibitions - e.g. "Von Nanopartikeln zu Segelflugzeugen und Windkraftanlagen"
- Lectures: "Biomechanik der Knochen", "Starkregen und Überflutung - so entstehen Vorhersagen", "Große weiße Flügel: Wie Faserverbunde uns klimaneutral warme Wohnungen und Urlaubsreisen ermöglichen"
- Hands-on activities & quiz
- Gastronomy: Grill stand
