Highlights of Physics
In the week from September 23 to 28, 2024, the science festival “Highlights of Physics” will make a stop in the state capital of Hanover. On Ernst-August-Platz in front of the main railway station, visitors can explore surprising effects and new developments from atomic physics to astrophysics in a large exhibition. There will be hands-on experiments and stage shows for children and young people. The festival, which is organized by the German Physical Society (DPG) and Leibniz Universität Hannover and supported by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, is complemented by a varied programme of lectures. Admission to all events is free of charge.
There will be numerous reporting opportunities during the event. Media representatives are cordially invited to come by at any time. We would particularly like to welcome you to the press events, which will be announced here in due course.
