"Biotechnology live" at BioPark Regensburg
What do such different things as medications, plastics and cheese have to do with biotechnology? "A lot" is the answer the visitors gleaned looking in on the mobile laboratory from Initiative "BIOTechnikum", which is travelling through Germany contracted by the Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). Because many biotechnology products are used by us on a day-to-day basis without us even thinking about it – most of them without us having any idea that often many years of scientific work and not so seldom that also significant discoveries are behind these.
Anyone who would like to know what is behind the concept "Biotechnology", in which fields this branch of research plays such an important role and in which products and applications technology is put into action, can learn about this on Sunday, 6 November from 12pm to 6pm at Open Day at the City Daughter Companies at BioPark Regensburg with its motto "Regensburg’s Beautiful Daughters". The mobile BIOTechnikum will be located at the parking facility in Am BioPark 13 Street (previously Josef-Engert-Street 13).

At the second tour stop to be made by the mobile BIOTechnikum at Albertus-Magnus Grammar School (Teachers’ Car Park Pflanzenmayer Street) on Tuesday and Wednesday, 8 and 9 November, biotechnology will be tangible in the truest sense of the word. School students will examine with the help of centrifuges, pipettes and such how cheese gets its holes and what science has to do with it. Around the topic "Healthy Eating" there is a moderated discussion group on Wednesday afternoon. And to where things such as training, study and career can lead the way will be shown by the experts in a lecture on the topic "Future? – Biotechnology! ".
During "Open Day" on Tuesday, 8 November, from 3pm till 4.30pm the BIOTechnikum is also open to all those interested from the public at Albertus-Magnus Grammar School to learn about the exhibition or talk to the scientists. Entance is free.
On Tuesday 8.11 Jürgen Huber, the third Mayor of the City of Regensburg and Member of the Advisory Council at BioPark Regensburg GmbH, will visit BIOTechnikum (press event).
