Taking classes on a rainwater basin

Seminars, workshops, hot tub talks, performances: the Floating University Berlin, which is located on a rainwater basin, offers these and much more. The final "open weeks", period in which the campus is opened to the local and international public, go until September 15.

The Floating University Berlin is opened to the public until September 15.

The project, which aimed to question urban routines and the future of the city, was idealized by a collective of architects called "Raumlabor". It started in May and is now coming to an end.
The university is an international project where not only students from all over the world, but also artists, local experts, architects and musicians came together to work out concepts for an improved urban life. For that, participants engaged on research projects, discussions and "questioning sessions" about the routines and habits of our society. To take the discussion even further, proposals on the reorganization of urban cities were made.

The location

The setting of the university is also remarkable: it is located next to Berlins‘ beloved former airport Tempelhof, in a nearly forgotten rainwater-basin, which is still used to hold back rainwater in times of great precipitation. The campus includes study halls, workshops, an auditorium, a tower with a laboratory and a water filtration system and, of course, a kitchen and a bar – all built by the students themselves at the beginning of the semester.
A final ceremonial diploma handover for all students and teachers – the Closing Ceremony – will take place on September 15.

The role of nanoplastic in marine pollution is greater than assumed

Nanoplastic particles are less than one micrometre in size, but by mass, their share in marine pollution is comparable to that of microplastic. This is the result of a study conducted by scientists from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).
