On Sunday, 7 September 2025 between 10:00 and 17:00, Forschungszentrum Jülich will open its doors to all interested visitors. Experience cutting-edge research up close and take an exclusive look behind the scenes of one of Europe’s largest research centres, which is not usually open to the public. Admission is free of charge.
Open day: Experience, discover, and participate in science!
On our 1.7 km2 campus, 7,500 researchers work on topics such as AI, quantum computing, hydrogen technologies, and the bioeconomy. They share the enthusiasm for new things, for the exciting puzzles that nature presents us with, for discovering the smallest particles, and for developing big machines? What does groundbreaking research for a better future look like? All events for the Open Day can be found in the programme overview.
• Hydrogen as an example: What can this energy carrier actually do? How can it be produced in a climate-neutral way and where can it be used?
• The computing power of the future: What do the most powerful computers in the world calculate? How does a quantum computer work? What are computer scientists copying from the human brain?
• Climate change: How is the circular bioeconomy helping us to conserve resources? How can crops be made more resistant to increasing drought and aridity?
At Forschungszentrum Jülich, we are solving tomorrow’s questions today – together with strong regional, national, and European partners and in various networks. We make our research results ready for use in society, politics, and industry. We work closely with partners in industry so that our insights can be used to create new products or services that improve people’s lives.
Join in, explore, and be amazed!
Visit our campus on Open Day and see our scientists in action. From scientific innovations to interactive hands-on experiments, there is something for everyone to discover on Open Day! For example, young people can experience the natural sciences in a playful way by taking part in a research rally, interactive experiments, and a spectacular science show. Schoolchildren and students will also have the chance to find out about career opportunities in science.
