Our project in cooperation with the Botanical Garden of the Philipps University in Marburg offers schoolchildren an insight into microbial research. First a lecture on the importance of microbiology, then collecting samples together in the Botanical Garden of the Philipps University of Marburg, and finally isolating bacteria in the foyer of the MPI.
On 27 June 2024 , the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg opened its doors to more than 200 pupils from the region to give them an exciting insight into the world of microbes. The first "Max Planck Children`s University on the Lahnberge in cooperation with the Botanical Gardens of the Philipps University of Marburg, offered a varied programme of listening and participation.
