The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) offers a very special program for students from the 8th grade onwards: the Heidelberg Life Science Lab. It supports young people who are particularly interested and talented in mathematics, life science and technology.
At lectures and weekend seminars, in working groups and science academies, participants can learn a lot about the life sciences and their philosophical and ethical reflections. The life sciences include not only mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and medicine, but also pharmacology, psychology, nutritional sciences and others.
In addition, students learn interdisciplinary skills such as presentation and learning techniques, rhetoric, teaching methods, scientific English, communication techniques, time, conflict and knowledge management, knowledge of project work and self-determined lifelong learning.
Further information and the opportunity to register can be found on the Heidelberg Life Science Lab website (only in German).
