Education and training
With about 30 internships and about 20 guided tours per year, we inspire young people and those interested in plant sciences and the bioeconomy. We developed a project course on the bioeconomy for senior high school students.
We address the topic of "Life-Long-Learning" through a certificate course on the topic of bioeconomy in cooperation with the Springer publishing house. In cooperation with adult education centres, we are developing events for adults. With new methods and technologies such as AR and VR, we open up fascinating insights into our research to visitors on site, but also to digital visitors and the media.
