Science and Engineering Day - 17.06.2026
»Future FormING«
How do we shape Thuringia’s future as a leading centre of innovation – and how do we create real opportunities for the next generation?
Thuringia Engineering Day 2026 gets straight to the heart of these very questions.
We look forward to discovering the innovative research taking place at universities in Thüringia during the Poster Session, where twelve dedicated researchers will share their research in the exhibition. The Science Slam promises to captivate us with six dynamic presentations of remarkable research, each in six minutes.
At the Science and Engineering Day, witness how engineering and STEM disciplines are essential in driving technological transformation, empowering a skilled workforce, and fostering regional value.
