As part of the RhythmOfLife project, the National Institute of Biology (NIB) is holding an open day with interactive presentations of its research work. Between 9 a.m. and…
A science show with interesting scientific experiments for all ages.
High-stem meadow orchards are true treasure troves of life. Visitors will be able to discover the diversity of life’s rhythms at the “In the Orchard” Interpretation Centre and at information points throughout the orchard.
High-stem meadow orchards are true treasure troves of life. Visitors will be able to discover the diversity of life’s rhythms in the orchard and the surrounding forest through a variety of exploration stations at the “In the Orchard” Interpretation Centre and at information points throughout the orchard. At the exploration stations, experts and researchers will present nine different fascinating topics, inviting visitors to learn through hands-on experiments, conversations and direct observation. An engaging combination of practical activities and encounters with experts will offer visitors an opportunity to discover the hidden world of the orchard and forest and to experience nature in an interactive and inspiring way.
At the Department of Genetic Toxicology, Biotechnology and Systems Biology (GEN), we research processes that are important for human health and the environment. Visitors will be able to…
What’s hidden in the pattern? Are you curious? 🧪 Perhaps a healthy green smoothie to combat autumn fatigue? 🌱 Perhaps green algae, tiny organisms that produce oxygen for…
An interactive look inside diagnostic and research laboratories.
Visitors will explore the hidden rhythms of communication among organisms through hands-on, interactive demonstrations, listening to the vibrational communication of insects and smelling chemical signals used by plants and insects, while discovering how these signals change over time and how human activities can disrupt such communication.
Methods and results of monitoring and studying wildlife in their natural habitat using modern devices, such as recorders, transmitters, etc., will be presented.
At the NIB Open Day, we will explore the world of molds, mycotoxins, and food safety through a photography exhibition, hands-on experiments, microscopic observations, and photography.
Discover the results of the FungiVE citizen science project, where members of the public helped investigate fungi on solar panels and their detection using advanced molecular methods
People most often describe and evaluate the landscape based on sight. However, landscapes also contain a vast amount of acoustic information, which, much like visual information, changes with time and space, and is increasingly being used in biodiversity research
