As part of the “We want to know” event series, researchers from the University of Hamburg will present their projects in 90-minute lectures at Hamburg schools in early 2027. Teachers can request these presentations online.

Under the title “We want to know,” the University of Hamburg will bring approximately 75 researchers from various faculties to Hamburg schools for 250 sessions beginning in early 2027. The program is aimed at 9th-grade classes and above, with some sessions also open to 7th and 8th-grade classes. The University of Hamburg Business School will also participate with four 90-minute presentations.

Computer Science: Jan Recker / Artificial Intelligence — What Does AI Mean for the Future of Work?

Computer Science: Gangli Tan / Minecraft for the Real World: Digital Innovations in the Design Thinking Style

Math: Jan Teichert-Kluge / Don’t Trust the Statistics: Why Storks Don’t Deliver Babies

Math: Dr. Tobias Vlcek / Finding the Best Solution: How Math Can Help with Planning

Due to high demand, the School’s lectures are already fully booked. Additional offerings and booking details are available on the “We want to know” website.

If you can’t find a lecture for 2027, you can look forward to 2028. The event takes place annually at the beginning of the year.
