Future Me Check for young people aged 15 and over

What are the big questions burning in the minds of young people? And where can they find answers and perspectives for themselves? These questions are answered by the Future Me Check, which has been specially programmed for the Open Day. Here's how it works: Young people aged 15 and over answer three questions. After a few clicks, they receive their personal profile. This opens up career prospects in Science. Anyone who is interested can then come to the Open Day, receive a themed wristband, and set off into the world of research – always following their own interests.
