Let’s talk! Wissenschaft direkt – LIVE

This new event format brings Bochum residents into direct dialogue with RUB researchers—face-to-face and on equal footing. In one-on-one conversations lasting 30 minutes each, you’ll gain fascinating insights into current research projects and have the opportunity to discuss your questions directly with the researchers.

“Let’s talk! Science Up Close – LIVE” takes place as part of “Geistesblitz Bochum – the Knowledge Festival at the Haus des Wissens” (organized by UniverCity). Under the motto “From Yesterday Toward the Future,” we cordially invite you to get to know our researchers and their work better and to engage in a dialogue with them.
