Science Showcase

Making research and science accessible – that is the central idea behind the Science Showcase, which is being established at Waisenhausdamm 8 in a vacant retail space. In the Science Showcase, science is explained where it touches everyday life: in the heart of Braunschweig’s city center! The region’s research institutions will present their specific research areas and findings here and inform the citizens of Braunschweig about their scientific work. The Science Showcase thus offers the opportunity to convey local science in an easily accessible manner while simultaneously counteracting vacant retail spaces in the city center.

Currently, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt is showcasing at the Science Showcase.

As a pilot project, the Science and Art Lab launched the ForschungRegion’s Science Showcase in March 2025, followed by the Thünen Institute.

From September 4 until mid-October, you can play the Quantum Escape Room at the Science Showcase every Tuesday and Thursday. Please register with a group of 5 to a maximum of 10 people. Participation is free of charge. The escape room lasts approximately 15 minutes; please allow 30 minutes in total.

The game is designed for groups of 5 to a maximum of 10 people — it is most enjoyable with 5 participants, and with fewer than 5, it naturally becomes more challenging. We look forward to welcoming you! Please register in advance:

What does your future look like in the quantum workforce?

Find out — at the Quantum Job Afternoon in Braunschweig.*

On September 15, the Quantum Job Afternoon, organized by the future cluster QVLS-iLabs, will take place: an afternoon aimed at students and graduates interested in career opportunities in quantum technologies.

Participants will have the opportunity to meet companies from the quantum ecosystem (including Agile Optic, CAVITY technologies, and TÜV IT), learn more about in-demand qualifications, and network with experts in a relaxed atmosphere. After short pitches, informal networking will follow with snacks and beverages.

Registration is free of charge.
