The next Children’s University lecture at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences will take place on 17 June 2015 as part of the 2015 summer term. Prof. Dr Florian Wichern, Professor of Agricultural Sciences at Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, will be giving a child-friendly lecture on the topic of soil.
Kleve/Kamp-Lintfort, 11 June 2015: The soil is the foundation of our food supply. The countless organisms in the soil play a vital role in this. Some of them can be seen with the naked eye, others are tiny, and some are rather unsightly. Together, they break down the ‘rubbish’ left behind by plants and animals in the soil. That is why it is so important to understand and protect the soil.
The Children’s University.
Through the Children’s University, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences offers children aged between eight and twelve the opportunity to develop a passion for the world of science through lectures (45 minutes) designed especially for them. Just like real students, they are given student ID cards. They sit in lecture theatres and can ask real professors all sorts of questions. The main difference from a proper degree course is that there are no exams to sit.
Get involved!
Children keen to study at the Children’s University can attend either all or just individual lectures. The current lecture timetable for the Children’s University can be viewed on the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences website at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de. No registration is required for the lectures. Admission is free.
