Marburg Summer Festival for the first time with a ProLOEWE booth: Scientists presented cutting-edge research for everyone in in the most beautiful summer weather

Research is exciting - that's the impression, when you watch the two of them.

At the microscope at LOEWE-Robucop: Perhaps already the young researchers of tomorrow?

At the ProLOEWE booth (the network of LOEWE research projects), the five Marburg LOEWE projects presented "hands-on science." This included the LOEWE Center DYNAMIC and the Research Clusters LOEWE-Diffusible Signals, LOEWE-Habitat, LOEWE-RobuCop, and LOEWE-TREE-M.

Exhibits, posters, games, and discussions gave visitors first-hand insights into cutting-edge research in Hesse, for example by answering questions such as how LOEWE-DYNAMIC is advancing research into and diagnosing mental illnesses, and the influence of climate on our health (LOEWE-HABITAT). In the LOEWE research project RobuCop, chloroplasts were examined under a microscope, just as the researchers in the project do, to enable CO2 fixation – a central process that significantly influences our nutrition, energy supply, and the global climate. Since TREE-M is about the leaves of the pedunculate oak, the ProLOEWE booth featured a real oak tree in a glass as well. LOEWE-Diffusible Signals focuses on antibiotics and antibiotic resistance and invited visitors to play the Signal Detective game.

At the LOEWE projects, visitors used microscopes, "examined nature", tested apps, solved puzzles, and played games! It was a fantastic opportunity for scientists to discuss their research with visitors. We look forward to next year!
