We offer tailored lectures and presentations for schools, school groups, and teachers. These can take place at your school or in the Department of Physics as required. Potential speakers and topics include:

• Professor Stefan Antusch: "The Universe Just After the Big Bang"
• Professor Christoph Bruder: "Superconduction: Electricity Without Resistance"
• Professor Stefan Goedecker: "Finding New Materials with Supercomputers"
• Professor Patrick Maletinsky: "Diamond Quantum Sensors" 
• Professor Martino Poggio: "Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with Nanometer Precision"
• Professor Christian Schönenberger: "Where Size Is (Not) Important"
• Professor Philipp Treutlein: "The Limits of Measurability," "Ultracold Atoms," and "What Is Light?"
• Professor Richard Warburton: "Quantum Light"
• Professor Ilaria Zardo: "Nano for Energy"
• Professor Dominik Zumbühl: "The Quantum Computer – The Supercomputer of the Future"
• Dr. Thilo Glatzel (private lecturer): "Scanning Probe Microscopy – Making Atoms Visible" and "The Physics of Solar Cells"

These are just some of the topics available. If we have sparked your interest or you would like a lecture/presentation on another physics topic, please get in touch.

We are also happy to take interested school groups on tours of our laboratories for a direct insight into the latest physics research.

A delivery service for science experiments! The MobiLab takes more than 150 exciting scientific and technical experiments directly to elementary schools. A teacher from the MobiLab team guides the young researchers as they experiment and explore natural phenomena relating to water, air, optics, materials, electricity, magnetism, sound and microscopes.

This service is aimed at elementary school grades 4 to 6 in the four cantons of Aargau, Basel-Landschaft, Basel-Stadt and Solothurn in Northwestern Switzerland.

"Saturday Morning Physics" is a series of fascinating events for people with an interest in physics. On two Saturdays at the start of the year, researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Basel give presentations that vividly illustrate two of the latest physics topics. In addition, a range of exhibitors demonstrate research highlights using practical examples.

"Saturday Morning Physics" is aimed at high school students aged 14 and over and is also open to others interested in the subject. Those participating on both Saturdays will receive a certificate and have the opportunity to win great prizes.

Information about the program, location, and registration can be found on the events page at the end of the year.

As someone who is about to complete their Maturität (high-school leaving certificate), you can do your final project in one of our research groups.
