Welcome to the HWG LU Children's University!
Children's university lectures at the university for 8-12-year-olds
Since 2004, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate has been offering children's university lectures throughout the state. The aim of the project is to introduce pupils aged 8 to 12 to science in a child-friendly way.
Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society has been involved right from the start and offers lectures for children directly at the university every semester.
The children's university events are free of charge and open to all children between the ages of 8 and 12. Due to the limited number of participants, registration via the university's event calendar is required (see link below).
