Calling all young STEM talent

The 57th edition of the “Jugend forscht” competition will soon kick off under the theme “Lass Zukunft da.” The MDC is once again co-sponsoring the search for tomorrow’s scientists – this year to be held fully virtual. The young researchers apparently don’t mind the new format: almost 9,000 children and young people have signed up for the competition so far.
