Series of posters with explanations

The generation and storage of electrical energy (electricity), the storage and utilization of carbon dioxide, and the production of “green hydrogen” are at the heart of the energy transition we are striving for. We provide an overview of current research.

By destroying our natural environment, we are threatening the survival of global biodiversity. What can we do?

What do we feel—and why? How do fear, stress, or hope influence our thoughts and actions, especially during challenging times?

What impact do solar storms have on our technical infrastructure? How can small satellites be assembled more efficiently in the future? And how will smart greenhouse systems ensure the supply of future missions to the Moon and Mars?

A diverse program of events is taking place in the institute’s lecture halls and laboratories: Why do mountain ranges form in Central Asia? What is the diversity of fossils found in the biosphere? How and why do rocks fold? How do we use underground storage facilities? ... and more

Creatures of the Night and Unknown Beings: We showcase current research projects on the hidden diversity of animals.

From the labs to the streets and into the production hall: Our “Light and Mobility” exhibition showcases technologies that will make the cars and production processes of the future more functional and safer.
