Off the Docks and onto the Green Energy Frontier: The MS Wissenschaft's 2025 Tour

Research Minister Bär deploys research vessel on a tour - Scientific vessel dispatched by Federal Minister Bär embarks on a tour

Get ready to dive into the world of science and sustainability as the MS Wissenschaft, a converted inland cargo ship, sets sail on her 2025 tour! This year's focus is on "Energy of the Future," showcasing brain-tingling exhibits from top-notch research projects all over Germany.

Crafted by heavyweights such as the Fraunhofer Society, Helmholtz Association, Leibniz Association, Max Planck Society, DFG-funded projects, universities, and partners, the exhibits will leave you breathless with awe and wondering how they can help save Mother Earth.

Starting mid-May, the MS Wissenschaft will voyage into over 29 German cities, including Berlin, Potsdam, and Straubing in Bavaria, with stops stretching all the way to Austria's Krems, Tulln, and Vienna. And the best part? Admission is completely free for all!

For those who fancy a more guided tour, don't fret - daily free guides will be at your service. But you're not just there to stare at pretty sciencey things; you can also take part in hands-on activities like racing electric toy cars to see which sustainable energy source reigns supreme.

Wait, there's more! The MS Wissenschaft shines as a beacon of sustainability, cruising along powered by eco-friendly GtL fuel and a photovoltaic system. It's not just about grandstanding; it's a walking (or rather, sailing) example of innovation for a greener tomorrow.

Federal Research Minister Dorothee Baer, who believes her ministry is the coolest in town, can't wait to showcase what science can truly achieve. "It'd be great if everyone left the ship a little smarter," she says, spreading the love for learning. And whoa buddy, that's what the MS Wissenschaft is all about – igniting a spark of curiosity and propelling us towards a sustainable future.

So, are you ready to jump on board this eco-friendly tour de force? Buckle up, science fans, as the MS Wissenschaft's energy-filled adventure awaits!

  1. As the MS Wissenschaft, a vessel embodying sustainability, sails through EC countries in 2025, it will highlight the critical role of environmental-science, especially in the realm of green energy, as demonstrated by collaborative projects from premier German institutions like the Fraunhofer Society and Max Planck Society.
  2. In addition to showcasing cutting-edge scientific research, the MS Wissenschaft will offer vocational training opportunities for visitors through interactive activities, such as racing electric toy cars, fostering a holistic understanding of sustainable energy.
  3. Aligning with the tour's core values of environmental consciousness, the MS Wissenschaft will harness eco-friendly fuel like GtL and rely on solar power through its photovoltaic system - serving as an ecological model for the finance and industry sectors, paving the way for a more sustainable and cleaner future.
