Offers for Citizens
Engaging with Society

How can the permeability of teaching, research and transfer to society be increased? Since March 2022, the Innovation and Future Office (IZB) of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences has been offering citizens in the district of Viersen the opportunity to make intensive contact with the university. It actively promotes the university's offerings in the region and at the same time takes up the needs and interests of citizens in order to reflect them back to the university.

The IZB was created by the renewal of the cooperation agreement between the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and the district of Viersen in summer 2021 and is located in the Haus der Wirtschaft, Willy-Brandt-Ring 13, 41747 Viersen, Room OG 203 at the business development agency of the district of Viersen. If you have any questions or are interested, please contact Dr Joachim Schick from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences.

Exciting lectures for pupils in grades 5 to 13 are offered at the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld by professors from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. All lectures at the MuseumsUni Krefeld present current research topics and are related to the exhibitions of the project partner Kunstmuseen Krefeld. The exhibitions are then explained in a guided tour of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum. The dates take place in the winter months and last from 12.00 to 13.30 (see MuseumsUni KR flyer).

The programme is aimed at class groups accompanied by up to two teachers or chaperones. Two to three classes (max. 55 people) can take part on each date. Admission is free.

The concept developed by Museum Schloss Rheydt and Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in collaboration with the Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium Mönchengladbach has been in existence since 2011. The MuseumsUni introduces pupils to the interesting degree programmes offered by Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. At the same time, it introduces them to the museum, which is not only a cultural but also an educational institution. The target group is pupils from secondary schools in Mönchengladbach (grades 5 to 13). The lectures for the "young scientists" take place in the Knights' Hall at Rheydt Castle. The dates are always Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12pm to 1pm during the programme period.

The programme is aimed at class groups accompanied by up to two teachers or chaperones. Two to three classes can take part in each session.

Participation is free of charge thanks to funding from Stadtsparkasse Mönchengladbach.

Registration is required. Enquiries and registration by telephone on 0 21 66 - 9 28 90 -11.
