GFZ School Lab - Our mission statement

  • Promoting basic understanding and interest in geosciences
  • Presenting research at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences to the general public
  • Networking science and society with the aim of strengthening scientific literacy
  • Show career and study prospects


    With our diverse activities for pre-school groups, school classes and teachers, as well as for the general public, we convey the fascination of the geosciences. In our activities, we present the results as well as the processes and methods of scientific work. We communicate complex issues in an understandable way with the help of illustrative experiments. This serves to strengthen cognitive and practical skills as a basis for dealing with geoscientific topics. In addition, we promote the scientific literacy of pupils for future decisions and interest young people in science at an early stage and in a targeted manner.
    Our work highlights the relevance of scientific questions and findings for the future of society.
