Also this summer, from July 7 to 19, about 400 children and over 500 scientists will once again turn the university upside down. All information on registration and enrollment can be found here.

This time, special attention will be given to the right of children to rest, leisure, play, and age-appropriate activities (Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) at the Children's University Vienna.

Quantum Physics Instead of Exam Stress at Children's University Vienna

Learning as a leisure activity works when voluntariness and an equal exchange with science are at the forefront. This also includes the rule: "Exams are strictly forbidden, laughter is always allowed." The offer of the Children's University Vienna is as diverse as usual: children can put together their personal study program from over 350 free workshops, seminars, and lectures.

The first academic event at the University of Vienna, led by the renowned researcher Markus Aspelmeyer, deals with the fascinating topic of quantum physics. The program also includes highlights such as "The Green Wonder World" (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna), "Excursion to Arguments and Logic" (FH Campus Vienna), "The Fabulous World of Our Immune System" (Medical University of Vienna), "Sustainable Living" (TU Vienna) "Wild Animals in the City" (University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna) or "What is a Credit?" (WU Vienna).

In addition to science, the corporate world can also be discovered: employees of the BAWAG Group move their workday to the lecture hall to directly impart financial knowledge there. After an expansion of the educational partnership this year, the BAWAG Group is bringing the popular Children's University T-shirt for the first time for both children and scientists. Therefore, the motto this year is: "Children's University powered by BAWAG Group."

Children's University Vienna Offers Spaces for Relaxation and Movement

The best ideas often arise exactly when you have a clear mind and are not thinking about anything specific. This is also known to science. Without relaxation, peak performance in thinking is not possible. Therefore, the Children's University offers space for everything that is proven to be beneficial: chillout zones, plenty of space for movement, and a special quiet area for reading. What belongs to the university is now also realized at the Children's University: a Children's University Library!

Registration for the Children's University Vienna is already possible here, and from June 10 at 2:00 PM, courses can be booked. From June 27 to July 4, the collection phase for the student ID and the popular Children's University Vienna T-shirt takes place. From July 7 to 18, the Children's University Vienna will take place, concluding on July 19 with a festive graduation ceremony in the Great Hall. All information about the Children's University Vienna can be found here.
