The HZI has been supporting the ‘Future Day’ career guidance project since 2002 and, after a long break due to the Corona pandemic, the centre opened its doors again this year to encourage young people to take an interest in science. Initial practical experience is intended to break down potential inhibitions and clichéd role models in relation to scientific professions and degree programmes.
This year's Future Day on 25 April 2024 was opened by Jörg Schinkel as a member of the management. This was followed by short presentations introducing the centre as well as questions of equality and a safety briefing. The children then went to the eagerly awaited practical part in the respective specialized department. "We are very happy that we were finally able to offer the Future Day again and give so many children and youths the opportunity to get to know our centre," says Christine Bentz from the Press and Communications department, who organised the event.
