Frank König and Alicia Jung presented the fem in all its facets to many interested pupils from the upper school of the Hans-Baldung-Gymnasium. With exhibits, roll-ups and an image film, they conveyed the diverse topics, fields of work and career opportunities in a modern research institute to the young scientists of tomorrow.

“Wir hatten viele Schülerinnen und Schüler aus den Leistungskursen Physik und Chemie an unserem Stand, die erstaunt waren, was in der modernen Materialforschung und Oberflächentechnik alles möglich ist. Und sehr interessiert daran waren, welche Bildungs- und Ausbildungswege in die Forschung führen. Wir freuen uns, dass wir dabei sein konnten!”

Alicia Jung, a chemist in the analytics department, used a small pig to demonstrate the galvanic layer structure and the various possibilities for characterising such layers. Frank König, materials scientist in the metallurgy department, gave an insight into the world of additive manufacturing and the production of novel composite materials.
