Science that amazes: Every year, researchers from our university present their educational research at a public and free Science Slam. Since 2023, interested members of the public have been gathering at Heidelberg’s creative industries centre, Dezernat16, to learn about various fields of research at the university in just 10 minutes.
Since its debut in 2023, the Science Slam has firmly established itself as a highlight of the university calendar. This unique event transforms the
Forget dry, academic lectures: at the Science Slam, researchers from Heidelberg University of Education exclusively present their current projects – that is, topics in educational research – in a snappy format. All slammers have ten minutes to convey complex scientific content to the audience in a way that is relevant to everyday life, easy to understand and laced with humour. The audience gains a fascinating insight into the work carried out at the university, ranging from new teaching methods to inclusive research and social issues. The slammers use every conceivable means – from props and live experiments to elements of comedy – to bring their research findings to life on stage.
Attendance at this event – which offers an exciting opportunity to experience the relevance of university research first-hand – is always free of charge. Experience research that inspires, and look forward to an unconventional evening at the heart of Heidelberg’s creative scene!
