Embark on an educational journey with the MS Wissenschaft, a floating science center sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany. This tour, organized by Wissenschaft im Dialog, aims to enlighten the masses about sustainable energy solutions for a greener future, aligning with the Science Year 2025.
The MS Wissenschaft tour kicks off in May 2025 and sails to 29 cities across nine federal states, including stops in North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Hesse, and culminating in Bavaria. Key destinations include Berlin, Potsdam, Dortmund, Oberhausen, and Duisburg.
Prepare to be dazzled by the exhibition's interactive exhibits, which showcase around 30 research projects from across Germany, such as:- Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: An engaging model demonstrating synthetic fuel production from CO₂ and hydrogen.- Carbon2Chem Project: A captivating demonstration explaining the conversion of CO₂ and green hydrogen into chemical products like methanol or ethanol.- TransHyDE Project: Contributed by the TransHyDE project team, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of hydrogen-deuterium exchange in enzymes.- Intelligent Power Grid Design: Design your own smart power grid and contribute to a smarter energy system.- Miniature City of the Future: Step into a sustainable urban planning paradise of the future.- Internet Energy Consumption: Discover the energy demands lurking within the depths of mobile internet.
Admission to the exhibition is free for all, with a special emphasis on captivating young minds, families, and anyone intrigued by science and future technologies.
Federal Research Minister Dorothee Baer proudly proclaimed the ministry as "the best and the coolest of all departments" during the launch, emphasizing the importance of science communication and demonstrating what science can achieve.
