Was kann Katalyse? Unser Leben nachhaltig verbessern!

Hands-on chemistry in the science exhibition at Stuttgart City Hall

This interactive exhibition offers exciting insights into the current research of the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1333 at the University of Stuttgart. It shows what catalysis is and why the use of catalysts in chemical processes is so important. It will become clear that we already encounter catalysis in many places in our everyday lives and how research in the CRC 1333 can help to improve our lives in the long term.

Visitors to the exhibition can slip into the role of a researcher themselves and work in a glove box like those used in chemical laboratories. The life-size replica of a pore invites visitors to experience how a molecule transforms in this confined space.

The scientists are looking forward to introducing you to the world of catalysis.
