Girls Day
Become a researcher for a day or discover the technology behind the research!
Option A: Become a researcher for a day!
At the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, we are on the path of the secret of ageing. Our researchers address the following questions: Why do we age? Is there anything we can do to stay healthier and fitter as we grow older? During the morning, you will get to know two of our researchers personally, accompany them virtually to the lab, develop an experiment with them and of course ask them questions.
Our offer is aimed at schoolgirls from the 8th grade upwards. The event will take place via Zoom and will be held in German.
You can register for the event on the GirlsDay Website.
Option B: Discover the technology behind the research
Have you always wanted to take a look behind the scenes of a renowned research institute? Then now is your chance!
Sign up for our Girls'Day at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing. (Event is fully booked)
On 03.04.2025 from 9:00-13:00 on site.
Here we are on the search for the secret of ageing - and for this we not only need brilliant ideas from our researchers, but also committed people who ensure a smooth technical infrastructure.
Take an exciting tour of our institute to see how varied the work in building services is: from ventilating the entire building to maintaining the electrical equipment that is essential for precise experiments. You will see at first hand how we ensure that everything runs smoothly, even in an emergency, such as a power cut.
At the end of the day, you will even have the opportunity to create a small memento of your day at our institute using our in-house 3D printer.
