Open Cam­pus 2019: We show you the world in a wa­ter drop!

Jun 15, 2019

On June 15, 2019, the University of Bremen again invited all interested people from Bremen and to an OPEN CAMPUS. We were there and showed you the world of the smallest inhabitants on the university campus.

Un­der the motto "Open Worlds - Share Know­ledge" we showed you what we are all about. In more than 40 pa­goda tents set up in our cam­pus park fac­ulties, in­sti­tutes, af­fil­i­ated in­sti­tutes, and vari­ous cent­ral re­search units gave fas­cin­at­ing in­sights into their works and pro­jects. Be­sides an ex­tens­ive and var­ied stage pro­gram, there were guided tours and other events, con­certs and a po­etry slam will take place on the open-air stage. The Uni­versity of Bre­men in­vited every­body to get a closer look be­hind the study and re­search scenes.

 

Many of you took wa­ter samples from the small pond at the uni­versity with us. You dis­covered many small in­hab­it­ants un­der the mi­cro­scope and then de­term­ined and painted them with us. There were many great paint­ings of rowan crabs and wa­ter fleas. In our game "The Ocean and Me", you could an­swer some in­ter­est­ing ques­tions and choose small prizes from our Ex­plorer Treas­ure Chest! We had an ex­cit­ing day, got to know many new faces and are look­ing for­ward to see you again at the next Open Cam­pus.

If you feel like ex­plor­ing the world of small in­hab­it­ants in a drop of wa­ter un­der a mi­cro­scope, but do not want to wait un­til the next Open Cam­pus, we in­vite you to join us on the Mari­time Meile in Septem­ber at the Bremer Sch­lachte to visit.  

 

Thanks to all the help­ers and many vis­it­ors!

We won´t miss that! We, the MPI Bremen, present ourselves on that day in a pagoda tent under the title:

"Small, but mighty: Microorganisms in the ocean"

The smallest inhabitants of our planet are its true rulers: Microorganisms live everywhere in large numbers and ensure that our earth looks the way we know it.

At the Max Planck Institute in Bremen, we investigate the microorganisms in the ocean. Our visitors get an insight into how much life there is in every drop of water and on every grain of sand - even in the Uni-Lake - and into the huge significance these tiny creatures have for all of us.
