Ludwig, Max + U is the new, centrally located dialogue platform of Ludwig Maximilian University. This platform presents and discusses current scientific research in a wide variety of formats. Interdisciplinary and public.
One of the formats is a temporary exhibition space. Every year, subject-specific research is presented here and the scientists behind the respective work are introduced. The exhibition content is created co-creatively through collaboration between science and design.
The exhibition “Diversity of Biodiversity” shows how diverse the topic of biodiversity is within the Faculty of Biology. With aesthetic exhibits, vivid graphics, and easy-to-understand texts, the exhibition makes science accessible to everyone.
The spectrum of work ranges from the future of olive oil to the puberty of butterflies to the question of how the evolutionary history of humans can be traced using monkey urine.
At the same time, it becomes clear how closely research is linked to social and ethical issues. The projects on display also deal with invisible care work and unfinished tasks, sustainable scientific work, and how diversity can promote efficiency.
Visitors are also invited to explore their own views on the topic on display and to participate in the science dialogue.
