Discover Science across Europe

The Science Guide

With the Science Guide, our students take you on a scientific journey across Europe. They tell research stories from different European countries and offer you a new, scientific perspective on the continent's travel destinations. Currently, most of the reports and articles are available only in German, but English and French versions of the website are in the making.

The articles on the website are mainly written by students of journalism and science journalism at TU Dortmund University.
