Up Close with the Future

A Hands-On Day Dedicated to Science

What might the world of tomorrow look like? There are countless ideas out there, and you can find some of them here. Join us as we take a look inside the labs of the future!





You’ll experience an exciting day full of discoveries: conduct experiments, ask questions, and tinker with inventions. With experimental lab stations, exciting gaming stations, engaging presentations, and much more, there’s just as much to explore for curious kids as there is for adults eager to learn—from the interaction between plants and insects to proteins that make liquids glow, to the daily lives of physicists at the South Pole. The Futurium’s members—our partner organizations—will offer exclusive insights into their visions and show how they’re actively shaping the future. Find out what researchers are working on today and what might soon become a reality.



Collaboration

In friendly cooperation with our partners: Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space ( BMFTR), German Research Foundation (DFG), Fraunhofer Society, Hermann von Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers e.V., Joachim Herz Foundation, Leibniz Association, Max Planck Society.
