The European Schools Science Symposium — full report

 

 

The Symposium was one of the most important events to take place in the school this year. More than 160 students made the long journey from their own schools to take part in an exciting science event, as well as to meet and socialise with other young scientists from around Europe. It was a major success for the school!


Our record of the event is in several sections:

Opening ceremony

Senior presentations

Junior presentations

European Molecular Biology Laboratory

Socialising

Presentation of awards

 


The jury was coordinated by Martino Vikankic from ES Munich and this year comprised representatives from EPO (Sven Jonda), OHIM (Chistine Roy), EMBL (Julia Willingale-Theune ) and the European Inspectors (Teijo Koloijnen)


Programme

In addition to the presented projects, the programme during the Symposium included a presentation by Prof Bauer from the Institut für Thermische Strömungsmaschinen of Karlsuhe University, a disco at the Jubez centre in town, and visits to local industry/exhibitions:

The Einstein exhibition in the Landesmuseum Mannheim

We provide mother-tongue education—in different language sections—from Kindergarten up to Baccalaureate level (university entrance) for around 1000 pupils from a wide variety of backgrounds. Currently 16 languages are taught in the school, and 49 different nationalities are represented. The European Baccalaureate, awarded ONLY by the European Schools, is recognised as a qualification for university entrance by all member states of the European Union and by other countries including the USA.
