Overview - University of Rostock

What is the Science Camp?

The Science Camp is an interdisciplinary exchange and networking platform. In an informal and intimate atmosphere, scientists from all disciplines/joint projects at the University of Rostock and the affiliated institutes present their own research topics during the popular poster session, openly offer other scientists potential synergies for active networking and cooperation and keep an eye out for existing and new contacts. The Science Camp is an important point of orientation for young scientists and offers representatives of the state government and industry an opportunity to gain an overview of the status of current research projects.

Meeting up, getting to know each other, finding out information and exchanging ideas - that is the focus of the event.

You will be surprised at how diverse and forward-looking the research at the University of Rostock is. You will be impressed by the interplay between research and business at the almost 600-year-old University of Rostock.

We cordially invite you!

The Science Camp has been taking place since 2012. The penultimate Thursday in November has established itself as a fixed date.
