Children's Lectures – Sparking curiosity, discovering research!
The lectures are held in German
What kind of clothing hung in the wardrobes of the Greeks and Romans? Are insects the superheroes of the animal kingdom? Can seals take legal action in court?
These and many other questions are answered by researchers from the University of Münster in the Q.UNI children's lectures. It is an exciting and challenging task, as the young students are a critical audience and want to know everything! In child-friendly language, lecturers from all disciplines explain what their research is about, why their work is important, and how the topic relates to children.
