Highlights der Physik
Inspired by the success of the "Year of Physics 2000", the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Physical Society organized the "Highlights of Physics" for the first time in 2001. Since then, the science festival has been touring from city to city with changing themes; up to 60,000 people of all ages experience hands-on physics during the week of events. The "Highlights" are a large hands-on exhibition in the central squares of our republic, school competitions, experiments, workshops, open-air stage shows, the EinsteinSlam and an extensive program for children aged three to ten. Exciting lectures by prominent scientists such as Nobel Prize winner Stephan Hell and marine researcher Antje Boetius explain physics in a vivid way.
Physics and music are combined in two exclusive evening lectures: With university professor and TV presenter Harald Lesch, everything revolves around "Sun, Moon and Stars", while Communicator Award winner Prof. Metin Tolan examines whether the spectacular stunts from James Bond films can be reconciled with the laws of physics. Extensive accompanying media offer visitors orientation and background information and also present complex topics such as quantum or biophysics in an understandable and entertaining way. In addition, much of the event's content can now also be experienced online - from live-streamed lectures to extensive reporting on social media channels. iserundschmidt has been supporting the science festival since its inception in the areas of conception, organization, motif, media and public relations.
