Submit projects now: "Knowledge store - 100 ideas for the world of tomorrow".

How can we make tomorrow's world more sustainable with ideas from our university? This question is the focus of the "Knowledge Store" exhibition planned for the summer. The entire university is invited to help shape the "store of knowledge" with scientific projects, work and findings.

The exhibition is organized by UniKasselTransfer for the university and presented to a broad (international) audience in downtown Kassel during the documenta summer, accompanied by a program of events.

The knowledge store follows the leitmotif "Lumbung" of documenta fifteen. Lumbung is the Indonesian term for a communally used rice storehouse, in which the harvested crop is made available to the community and shared in the village. This is a great metaphor for the function of science in our society. The knowledge store is intended to make knowledge and ideas from the University of Kassel available to and shared with society. We are facing great challenges in the future - the knowledge store is meant to show possible solutions and invite dialogue. There is great innovative power in our university - we want to bring this to the attention of a broad documenta public.

Students, graduates, staff and professors of the University of Kassel are invited to present their academic work, artistic or freelance projects, research or seminar projects, master's theses or dissertations, start-ups or spin-offs, inventions or patents in the knowledge store.

Various formats and participation opportunities are open for the presentation. Through lecture and dialogue formats, presence at the exhibition site, participation in the development and implementation of the presentation of the projects and much more, the knowledge store can be co-designed. A total of up to 100 projects can be shown.

Applications and nominations are being accepted:
