New exhibition at UNI:Lokal: Werk - Stoff - Idee | Materials research from the University of Kassel

Discover the future of materials! The exhibition presents innovative materials that are being researched at the University of Kassel. Plastics, metals, wood, concrete - we invite you to get to know materials from a new perspective.

The exhibits show solutions for a sustainable future: innovative processing and resource-saving recycling make materials fit for the world of tomorrow. Materials are becoming smart - they produce electricity, pass on information, change their shape or adapt to their environment.
Try out these smart functions for yourself - at hands-on stations and in workshops. For all those who want to know more: Researchers explain more about the topics presented in short talks and during guided tours.
The exhibition also offers plenty for children and young people to discover, marvel at and experiment with - school classes are also cordially invited.

The exhibition was realized by the Communication and Marketing Office and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kassel.
Design: Studio m2m3
