Climate Clash, Uni-Stage and Nerd Night: Paderborn University invites pupils and prospective students to a pop-up event


From Thursday to Saturday, 26 to 28 October, Paderborn University invites you underground: In the "gwlb" (vaulted cellar at Marienplatz) a pop-up event for pupils and prospective students will take place on three days. In the "Talk Lounge" from 3 to 6 p.m. (on Saturday already from 11 a.m.) they can find out about campus life and the study subjects, and in the "Probier-Parcours" those interested can try their hand at typical tasks from their studies. In the theme corner, subject-specific and non-study-related content will be presented. Each day is dedicated to a different topic of the future: On Thursday afternoon, the "Living Lab" will address questions such as "How do we want to live together as a society in the future? How can life succeed in a colourful society? How do humans and machines work together best? And how do we keep ourselves fit? Anyone interested in new technologies and digital worlds is in the right place at the "Digital Day" on Friday afternoon. A Maker Space in mini format invites you to experiment.

At the "Climate Clash" on Saturday, experts will be looking for solutions to the climate catastrophe and invite people to talk about changes and options for action. Technologies, people, structures - various approaches to solutions will be presented that the research of Paderborn University is currently working on.

Highlights are also the respective evening programmes from 7 to 10 pm. At the "Nerd Night", for example, students have the chance to take part in a Mario Kart tournament, a colourful cultural programme awaits guests at the "Uni-Stage" and students can compete against each other in the upper school quiz.

Pre-registration is necessary for some events. All information and the entire programme of "Uni Underground" can be found at: go.upb.de/uni-underground
