The university in the Wissenswerkstadt

In the heart of Bielefeld's city centre, there is a new address for presenting research to a wide audience and trying out new formats of science communication.

The university is a research partner of Wissenswerkstadt and cordially invites its researchers to use the space for exchange and dialogue with urban society on their research topics. If you have any questions or ideas, the Science Communication team will be happy to help.

The Bielefeld University market stall

At the "market stall", Bielefeld University's anchor point in the Wissenswerkstadt, visitors can get a taste of the university. The multimedia modules provide information about degree programmes and display current news and offers from the university. Visitors can use the interactive touchscreen to find out more about the university and then put their knowledge to the test in the quiz. The market stall is located in the "Oval", the central room on the ground floor of the Wissenswerkstadt.

Experimental stations of the teutolabs

Ask questions, observe phenomena, understand science: At the teutolabs experiment stations in the Wissenswerkstadt, young researchers can find out the answers to amazing questions for themselves. Exciting hands-on exhibits from the fields of chemistry, physics, biotechnology and maths invite you to explore phenomena from everyday life and your own environment. Visitors can find the experiment stations on the upper floor of the Wissenswerkstadt.

Open Call: GENIALE 2025!

GENIALE is returning: it will start again in a new form in 2025! Unlike all previous festival editions, GENIALE 2025 will have one main theme: "AI and us". From September to November 2025, everything in the Wissenswerkstadt and other venues in the city will revolve around artificial intelligence, with the topic being addressed in all its complexity and from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines.
Interested in applying with an ingenious project? Click here for the Wissenswerkstadt Open Call! Researchers at the university can contact the Science Communication team(wisskomm@uni-bielefeld.de) with any questions about submitting a proposal.
