Researchers quench thirst for knowledge in Hamburg's bars on May 11

University of Hamburg and DESY invite to "Science on tap"

The series "Wissen vom Fass" (Science on tap) has been proving since 2015 that science is anything but dry, but highly topical and exciting. Every year, researchers come out of the laboratories and lecture halls into the pubs of Hamburg and give a broad audience an insight into their work. With entertaining and comprehensible lectures - and in close exchange with the audience - they devote themselves to topics in the humanities, social sciences and education, in addition to the natural sciences.

This year, in addition to the topics of climate negotiation, power generation and AI, they will also discuss with visitors what comics have to do with education, whether black holes are dangerous, and how and where we will work in the future. This year, pubs and bars from Othmarschen to Bergedorf, from Eimsbüttel to Harburg, and with a flying visit to Schenefeld, the researchers even cross the border into Schleswig-Holstein.

The program starts in all bars and pubs at the same time at 8 o'clock in the evening, entrance is free. "Knowledge on tap" is organized by the DESY research center and the University of Hamburg. They are supported by the university clusters of excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" and "Quantum Universe" as well as PIER Plus, the strategic partnership between DESY and the University of Hamburg.
