Pub Quiz in Jena Paradies

The three Max Planck Institutes in Jena invite you to a pub quiz at the Paradiescafé on the occasion of the nationwide Max Planck Day on September 14.

On Friday, September 14, 2018, the Max Planck Society is organizing a nationwide Max Planck Day. The motto of the event is “Research is curiosity - what are you looking for?” and aims to make the general public aware of what science is all about: solving fundamental questions and problems, combined with the joy of gaining knowledge and recognizing scientific facts. There is also an event in Jena on this day to which the local Max Planck Institutes for Biogeochemistry, Human History and Chemical Ecology cordially invite you: a pub quiz in the Paradiescafé (Vor dem Neutor 5).

Teams of up to five people can compete against each other in a relaxed atmosphere to answer questions about everyday life, science and curious discoveries. No special expertise is required. Anyone can take part and participation is free of charge. Of course there are also prizes. Admission is from 7 pm. The quiz starts at 8 pm and will be hosted by René Knizia. In order to be able to prepare the evening accordingly, the organization team asks for registration as a team with a team name. Registration can be made by e-mail to quiz@ice.mpg.de or by telephone (03641 - 57 2110, - 57 6801, - 686 960).

Background
2018 marks the 160th anniversary of Max Planck's birth. Exactly 100 years ago, the founder of quantum physics was awarded the Nobel Prize. The Max Planck Society was founded 70 years ago. 25 years ago, in 1993, Germany's most successful scientific organization adopted guidelines for the formation of a uniform German research landscape, as a result of which 20 new Max Planck Institutes were established in the new federal states, including the three research institutes in Jena. Today, scientists from a wide range of disciplines are researching the frontiers of knowledge in more than 80 Max Planck Institutes. So there are many reasons to celebrate. Celebrate with us!
