In four days, the “Long Night of Sciences” (LNDW) will invite you to marvel, participate, and learn.

We look forward to seeing you at our “HPC Village—supercomputers at work”. Together with scientists from our partner institutions, NHR@FAU presents various fascinating fields of application from medicine, chemistry, geography, computer science, and linguistics.

Visit us at ECAP (Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics) at Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Straße 2. From 5:00 p.m. to midnight, we will show you science in all its diverse facets.

Interested? Take a look at our program. Have some impressions what you can experience at our HPC village:
