OHA! Adventure Science - Long Night of Science in Zittau/Görlitz

On July 1, the "OHA! Adventure Science" took place in the science institutions of Görlitz and Zittau. Under this motto, institutes and universities in both cities opened their doors from 4 p.m. and vividly presented their work, whether in demonstrations, experiments, lectures and many hands-on activities. The thematic spectrum ranged from live hacking of a computer and diving into the fascinating world of ground animals to the feeling of being in the body of an elderly person.

A total of nine institutions took part in "OHA! Adventure Science". In both Zittau and Görlitz, the event ended at central locations with a special closing night program. Admission was free of charge.
