scholars and Teachers
- Discussion Project: "Animal Experiments in Research", Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, Braunschweig
- The Competence Centre of Neuroscience (Schülerlabor Neurowissenschaften in Tübingen) provides unique training opportunities for high school students and their teachers. It offers insight into exiting new developments in integrative neuroscience and, by doing so, helps to promote public understanding of neurosciences and encourages talented young people to consider careers in this vibrating field of research.
