Wissensverkostung – Sampling Knowledge – Knowledge creates an appetite for science

You’re interested in principle in the programme of KinderUniSteyr? You regret that you have had no chance for quite some time to actually take part? Well, Wissensverkostung (Sampling knowledge) puts you back into the race!

Renowned scientists, scholars and experts will be giving mini lectures and offering samples of their expertise in their chosen areas of knowledge for interested adults. The musical and culinary sideshows may even give the opportunity to engage in small talk wih the lecturers. Check out for yourself how KinderUniSteyr works!
