SCIENCE COMES TO TOWN
The cities and regions of Kiel, Brest, and Split will be centres of European science in 2026.
Science at the heart of everyday life: Science comes to town brings research directly into cities, towns, and neighbourhoods throughout 2026. More than 70 European institutions and the SEA-EU alliance invite you to a year full of encounters with science. A first glimpse of the programme will be revealed on 26 September 2025, at the KielRegion Science Day.
Science comes to town is a European firework of ideas, funded by the EU, designed to spark curiosity and build trust in science.

Zeus and the Roller Coaster: Representations of Classical Greece in Theme Parks
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Filippo Carlà-Uhink (Potsdam)
Donnerstag, 16. Juli 2026, 18.30 Uhr
Seeburg | Kegelbahn, Düsternbrooker Weg 2, 24105 Kiel
Theme parks are a distinctive form of immersive themed environments: “enclosed, large-scale, artificially created” spaces featuring attractions and entertainment designed to make historical, exotic, or imaginary worlds tangible and accessible (Kagelmann). Through controlled admission, clear spatial boundaries, and carefully staged atmospheres, they exhibit certain parallels to princely residences; indeed, sites such as the Hameau de la Reine at Versailles are sometimes regarded as precursors to modern themed environments.
Architecture, decoration, vegetation, music, and even scents work together to immerse visitors as completely as possible in another world, allowing everyday life to fade into the background. When a past culture is reconstructed in this way, one may even speak of “time travel” (Holtorf). Classical antiquity serves as an inspiration for theme parks and themed areas around the world. This lecture explores how ancient architecture, myths, and visual traditions are adapted, simplified, and emotionally charged within these environments.

It’s About to Get Epic – Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Homer’s Original
Film screening at Studio Filmtheater followed by a discussion with Dr. Samantha Philips from the Institute of Classical Studies
Sonntag, 19. Juli 2026, 15.00 Uhr
Studio Filmtheater, Wilhelminenstraße 10, 24103 Kiel
Since January, an open reading group at Kiel University has been exploring Homer’s Odyssey. On 16 July, the latest adaptation of the ancient epic, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, premieres in cinemas.
Why has this ancient epic remained so captivating for thousands of years? Does Nolan tell the entire story?
On Sunday, 19 July 2026, following the 3:00 p.m. screening of The Odyssey at Studio Filmtheater, classical philologist Dr. Samantha Philips (ROOTS Cluster of Excellence / Institute of Classical Studies) will answer questions about Homer’s original epic, its adaptation for the screen, and its relevance today.
Can’t make it to the cinema that day, but still have a question about Homer’s Odyssey?
Simply send your question by email to dialog@roots.uni-kiel.de.
Questions will be answered during the live discussion and will also be published afterwards on the reading group’s project page, “It’s About to Get Epic”:

Open doors - science for all!
The Kiel Research Workshop opens its doors to the public on every second-to-last Thursday of the month.
Donnerstag, 23. Juli 2026, 17.00 Uhr
Kieler Forschungswerkstatt, Am Botanischen Garten 16i, 24118 Kiel
As part of Science Comes To Town (SCTT), the Kiel Research Workshop has developed a special public program:
On every second-to-last Thursday of the month, the teaching and learning laboratory opens its doors to the public. On Thursday, 23 July 2026, the team from archaeo:labor will take all interested visitors on a journey into the past from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Participants will first learn about the landscape history of Schleswig-Holstein and the region’s early human settlement. Afterwards, they will explore life in the Neolithic Period through a variety of hands-on stations and their own archaeological excavations.
For example, participants will examine pollen under a microscope to gain a better understanding of what the landscape looked like during the Neolithic era. At another station, they will investigate samples from a Neolithic hearth and learn more about prehistoric diets and food practices.

About the partner cities and regions
Kiel is investing in the next generation of scientists
In Kiel, the focus is, among other things, on inspiring young people to engage with science. For schools, teachers, and young people, existing programs such as “Rent-a-Scientist” are being expanded. The French counterpart is also being extended, and successful formats like children's universities are being relaunched and introduced in partner cities.
Citizen science projects and participatory formats provide additional hands-on experiences — both in the classroom and at events such as EUCYS (European Union Contest for Young Scientists). “I am particularly pleased that EUCYS, one of Europe’s most prestigious science competitions for young people, is coming to Kiel. This is a strong signal for education, innovation, and international cooperation,” emphasizes Ulf Kämpfer, Mayor of the City of Kiel.
