The science festival “Highlights of Physics” takes place from September 27 to October 1, under the slogan “microcosm”. The centerpiece of the event is a large interactive exhibition on the Münsterplatz in Ulm. HIU takes part with its own stand on lithium ion batteries and alternative battery systems. The exhibition is divided into three areas: “Physics and Life”, “measurement methods of bio and quantum physics” and “look into the quantum world.”
Besides the highlights show in the Ratiopharm Arena moderated by Ranga Yogeshwar there are lectures, workshops for pupils and an Einstein Slam.
The festival was launched in 2001 by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) and the German Society of Physics (DPG). It takes place in a different place from one year to the next and with different subjects each time. Ulm is the 16th location. It annually attracts more than 30,000 visitors. Organizer of this year’s Science Festival is next to the BMBF and the DPG and the University of Ulm.
