Next Science Night in Magdeburg: Saturday, 5 June 2027

For the 2027 Long Night of Science, Magdeburg’s universities and scientific institutions are once again inviting the public to visit their laboratories, workshops, and lecture halls - and thus to take a look behind the scenes of science and research. We at the Max Planck Institute look forward to your visit.
Our program and activities will be available in spring 2027 here.

The 18th Science Night in Magdeburg took place on 14 June 2025. Thank you very much for your visit and your interest in our research.
Molecules, proteins and viruses are building blocks for sustainable, energy-saving and efficient manufacturing processes.
