Go to Rhine-Waal University
At the Faculty of Life Sciences, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for research and teaching – from the tropical greenhouse and the microscopy centre to specialised analytical and microbiology laboratories. Here’s an overview.
Tropical House
A tropical greenhouse with teaching and display gardens, opened in 2012 as a faculty laboratory. Climate chambers, a collection of tropical crops and around 3,000 m² of display gardens bring plant diversity to life. Visit the Tropical Greenhouse page
