Lange Nacht der Wissenschaft 2013
The Long Night of the Sciences (German: Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften) has become an established form of public relations activity in Germany. On one night of the year, large scientific institutions hold lectures and demonstrations for the general public in order to present themselves and a general overview of their research topics.
The events cover all aspects of science, from natural sciences to social sciences. The public can usually visit the institutions between around 5pm and 1am on the “Long Night of the Sciences” in exchange for a fee.
