Campus Berlin-Buch promotes "Jugend forscht"
The Buch Campus is one of the four locations of "Jugend forscht" in Berlin. The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC), the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP), Campus Berlin-Buch GmbH and - associated - the Experimental and Clinical Research Center (ECRC) of MDC and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin are hosting the competition as sponsors.
A total of 38 projects by students between the ages of 10 and 18 were assigned to the Campus Buch. The sponsoring institutions design a program for the regional competition - from the introductory event to the design of the presentations and their evaluation by the jury to the award ceremony.
"The competition is exciting every time," says Dr. Ulrich Scheller, managing director of Campus Berlin-Buch GmbH. "Whether 'accidentally ingenious' or simply enthusiastic about implementing their own ideas - 'Jugend forscht' is a very good incentive to try out the natural sciences and technology and to come into contact with research institutions or companies."
