Open Labs Day
On Saturday, August 23, 2025, we invite you to experience science in action and to meet our scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). Visitors can take a look behind the scenes of current research on many guided tours of our large-scale facilities and laboratories. Discover the entire spectrum of research – from innovative and energy-saving electronic materials for storage and computer technologies to modern superconductors and powerful magnets to the processing of raw materials. From the development of unique accelerators and lasers to astroparticle research and the production of radioactive drugs for cancer therapy, you can expect an entertaining day full of exploration, discovery and interactive experiences.
Young people and students can find out all they want to know about internships, apprenticeships, dual study courses and other career opportunities at the research center. For all research fans, there will be an exciting side program with many stations for experimenting and testing. We look forward to your visit.

At the annual "Dresden is(s)t bunt" banquet, thousands of guests come together to share their favorite food from all over the world and to meet in a cheerful atmosphere. The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) was once again part of this vibrant event - together with more than 200 organisations from the region. The event was launched in 2015 as a civil society initiative to promote international openness and peaceful coexistence.

Dresden Science Night
The 21st Dresden Science Night took place on June 14, 2024. The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) presented itself with a broad program of lectures, exhibits and guided tours at the Dresden University of Applied Sciences and in the underground laboratory in Dresden's Felsenkeller. Around 150 HZDR scientists provided insights into their research projects. To coincide with the start of the European Football Championship a "soccer special" also awaited the visitors.
We have summarized the best moments of the Long Night in a picture gallery.
