BTU participates in traveling exhibition - when science becomes art

Research is not only science, but also has artistic richness. Often, however, the research content is too small, too far away, too hidden or too abstract to present its full potential. But this is exactly what the EUNICE Alliance project aims to do: to showcase the invisible.

The aim is to create a collection of images that showcase the research being conducted at individual universities. Scientists from all fields, from the humanities to the natural sciences, are invited to submit aesthetically pleasing images that reflect their field.

As a traveling exhibition, the works will be on display at all EUNICE partner universities, providing a unique opportunity to showcase the institution in an artistic way. After opening in Mons (Belgium), the exhibition will also stop in Cottbus in 2024. The aim of the presentation is to provide the general public with exciting access to mostly invisible topics of science. Nevertheless, this opportunity can be used to create an exchange between the participating departments of the individual universities and to strengthen future collaborations. After the traveling exhibition, all works will be published in a book and available in all countries of the EUNICE Alliance.

To participate, high-resolution images (min. 300 dpi) must be sent by June 15, 2023 to the following email address: eunice+exhibition(at)b-tu.de. Submitted photos can take a variety of forms, from snapshots to illustrations and graphics to conceptual models.

About EUNICE:

EUNICE (European University for Customised Education), these are universities from different European countries with a common DNA: all universities are medium-sized and strongly locally based, they are in a process of structural change and students are the focus of interest everywhere. Tailor-made course offerings are created for these very students in order to prepare them in the best possible way for the European job market. The alliance is supported by seven universities: the Poznań University of Technology (Poland), the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (Germany), the University of Cantabria (Spain), the University of Mons (Belgium), the University of Catania (Italy), the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (France), the University of Vaasa (Finland). Soon three new partners will join: the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal), the University of Peloponnese (Greece) and the University of Karlstad (Sweden).
