"The ongoing week is marked by incidents related to 'Smart Room'"
The SchlauRaum Science Festival in Münster, Germany, is currently underway and runs from July 5 to July 11, 2025. With the theme **"Why? How? Healthy?"**, the festival is focused on exploring the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health[1].
The opening weekend highlighted the importance of **"One Health – the health of humans, animals, and the environment"**, as researchers presented interactive examples to illustrate the interdependence of these three aspects[1]. As we move into the remaining days of the festival, a wide range of presentations and discussions on health and sustainability can be expected, with more than 1,300 researchers from various disciplines involved[1].
The festival aims to engage the community in discussions about health and science, possibly including workshops or panel discussions open to the public. Visitors can also expect more interactive and real-life examples of how scientific insights can help combat health risks through simulations and other tools[1].
Today's theme at the festival is nutrition. The "Schnippeldisco" event by the "Foodsharing" initiative in the town hall's inner courtyard invites people to turn rescued vegetables into a delicious meal (4 to 8 pm).
In the afternoon, the FH will invite visitors to experience emergency preparedness practically with lectures, exercises, a blackout course, and a teddy clinic for children in the open-air auditorium (12 to 4 pm).
Midday lectures on the daily theme will be held at the Stubengasse from 12 to 12:30 pm. Upcoming themes include the future of health and digital health, body, mind, and soul, and climate.
The festival transforms the city into a campus for everyone, with the Stubengasse as an open-air auditorium and interactive offers at the knowledge bar in the town hall's inner courtyard. All information and dates for the "SchlauRaum" can be found online at www.schlauraum-ms.de.
In addition to the scientific events, the municipal senior citizens' representative will address the topic of heat and health risks caused by climate change. The climate day finale of the "SchlauRaum" will be on Friday, 11th July, with a focus on the influence of the environment and climate change on well-being.
The SchlauRaum Community consists of Münster Marketing, the University of Münster, FH Münster, and the University Clinic Münster. The festival is funded by the Sparkasse Münsterland Ost Foundation and the Allianz for Science.
