On April 3, 2025, the annual Girls' Day took place, giving schoolgirls an insight into various careers in science and technology. We welcomed a total of 103 schoolgirls at our Adlershof and Wannsee sites and offered them a day full of exciting experiments - more participants than ever before!
The girls had the opportunity to take part in various workshops and experiments and gain insights into professions such as physicist, engineer and chemist.
In total, we offered 17 different workshops where they could try out the research topics at HZB in a fun way.
“For me personally, it was a special experience to help shape Girls'Day in my new role in the communications department. It was great to see the curiosity and enthusiasm with which the schoolgirls explored the world of science,” says new HZB colleague Mariam Aliabadi.
Dirk Lohmann, who has been working in the school lab since July last year, also emphasizes the importance of this day: “I think it is fundamentally important to awaken a fascination for science and the technologies of the future in children. Girls' Day gives us the opportunity to get girls interested in careers and training in this area - precisely because they are often still underrepresented here.”
We would like to thank all our colleagues who contributed with their commitment to making Girls' Day at HZB possible with such diverse and exciting workshops.
We hope that the schoolgirls had many new experiences today and that their interest in STEM subjects was awakened.
Girls' Day is an important initiative to get schoolgirls excited about science and technology and to encourage them to pursue careers in these fields as well.
- Helmholtz Doctoral Award for Hanna TrzesniowskiDuring her doctoral studies at the Helmholtz Centre Berlin, Hanna Trzesniowski conducted research on nickel-based electrocatalysts for water splitting. Her work contributes to a deeper understanding of alkaline water electrolysis and paves the way for the development of more efficient and stable catalysts. On 8 July 2025, she received the Helmholtz Doctoral Prize, which honours the best and most original doctoral theses in the Helmholtz Association.
- New Helmholtz Young Investigator Group at HZB on perovskite solar cellsSilvia Mariotti starts building up the new Helmholtz Young Investigator Group ‘Perovskite-based multi-junction solar cells’. The perovskite expert, who was previously based at Okinawa University in Japan, aims to advance the development of multi-junction solar cells made from different perovskite layers.
- Understanding physics – with your own handsDirk Lohmann has been head of the school laboratory at HZB's Wannsee site since summer 2024. In this interview, he explains what matters most to him: encouraging young people to explore natural phenomena with their own hands.
