With thousands of curious visitors, around 240 program items and impressive commitment, together we were able to show what makes the TU Ilmenau and our region so special: a lively campus, state-of-the-art research, innovative companies - and above all a passionate community of science, teaching, students, initiatives and partners.
Once again, we would like to say: Thank you! Thank you to everyone who helped plan, build, explain and inspire - and to everyone who was there!
On 20.06.2026, we will open the doors again - with exciting insights, hands-on activities and a lively encounter with science, technology and innovation.
From robots and high-voltage experiments to workshops for children - research became tangible at the last Ilmenau Science Night. The impressions show how varied the program was and how actively people took part, asked questions and tried things out.
