DESY at the traditional Hamburg Port Anniversary! – Research down to earth

Out of the ivory tower and into the harbour mile: at this year’s 823th Hamburg Harbour Birthday, DESY presents itself and its research in a way that is easily understood by everybody.

True to the motto “DESY meets India”, DESY and guest country India, together with the accelerator centre FAIR, show the fascinating and exciting facets of current research to visitors in a tent at St. Pauli fish market. The focus is on cooperation with Indian scientists and institutes participating in research at the X-ray source PETRA III, with experiments mainly in the field of materials and nano research.

Apart from impressive large photographs, informative posters and exhibits, this event also includes a science quiz with attractive prizes and - twice a day - a 20-minute science show with entertainer Delf Deicke. Be there: 11 to 13 May, from 10am until 11pm, India Festival, Uferpromenade am St. Pauli Fischmarkt.
