Was kann Katalyse? - Wissenschaftsausstellung im Stuttgarter Rathaus

In the organizer's words:

What can catalysis do? Improve our lives sustainably!

Science exhibition at Stuttgart City Hall, February 11-25, 2025, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. (Mon-Fri)

Slip into the role of a researcher and work in a glove box. See how a molecule in a narrow pore changes through catalysis, or experience the process of catalysis while playing mini golf. You can discover all this and more in the interactive exhibition "What can catalysis do?" at Stuttgart City Hall.

We offer you insights into the current research of the Collaborative Research Center 1333 at the University of Stuttgart, explain what catalysis is and why the use of catalysts in chemical processes is so important.

Our scientists are looking forward to introducing you to the world of catalysis.

Supporting program:

Open guided tours

• Open guided tours will take place on Thursday, 13.02.2025, and Thursday, 20.02.2025, both at 4 pm. The meeting point is in the ground floor foyer of Stuttgart City Hall. It is not necessary to book in advance for the open tours.
  

Guided tours for school classes from grade 10

• Guided tours for school classes from grade 10 are possible on weekdays from 9 am. Appointments can be made by e-mail to: yasemin.polikar@ipoc.uni-stuttgart.de.
  

Open evening event

• Thursday, 20.02.2025, 6 pm: 3rd floor, middle meeting room:

Open evening event on the topic "_CO2: Raw material for a sustainable future?", followed by a guided tour of the exhibition (admission: 5:40 pm). No pre-registration necessary.

"_CO2: raw material for a sustainable future?"

How can_CO2 be removed from the atmosphere and put to good use in the future?

We are pleased to invite you to this interactive evening event as part of the science exhibition "What can catalysis do?".

In his lecture, Prof. Deven Estes from the University of Stuttgart will give an insight into the processes of_{CO2 production} and_{CO2 removal}. He will explain how_CO2 could be used in the future as an alternative to crude oil for the production of fuels or basic chemicals. The aim is to establish_CO2 as a sustainable resource in industry.

The lecture will be vividly complemented by exciting live experiments.
