Visitors to the Long Evening of Science are invited to get a taste of campus life and experience science up close.

Lectures, demonstrations, guided tours and hands-on activities are suitable for children, young people, families and anyone else interested. A total of over 90 programme items await curious guests at the University of Ulm, including the Botanical Garden and the TTU Training Hospital. Advance online registration is required for some of the hands-on medical activities.
