Experience science - children's university at the HNEE
Anyone wondering what actually goes on behind the doors of our university and what our professors do will find the right answers at our children's university.
We want to get children of primary school age interested in science. That's why we organise the Children's University once a year together with the Barnim-Uckermark Community Foundation. School classes in years 5 and 6 are cordially invited to get to know the university and experience science at first hand.
