In 2023 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German organization for science communication “Wissenschaft im Dialog” jointly proclaimed a "Science Year 2023" in Germany with the motto “Our Universe”. One of the numerous events that have been supported thereby has been that of the project "Zirkus UNI-versum", which took place in summer 2023 at Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences. This project – and other activities for schools – intend to stimulate the interest of pupils in STEM subjects and to attract future engineering students.
