Leibniz Universität Hannover launches 4th Science Challenge

Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) is launching the 4th Science Challenge, a nationwide online competition for students in Germany starting September 21, 2026. Designed for students in grade 9 and above, the challenge focuses on solving mathematical, scientific, technical, and economic problems through creativity and teamwork.

Participants compete in teams of two to five members, working on four distinct tasks developed by LUH researchers and students. The competition is designed to be integrated into school curricula or completed independently. Top-performing teams will be invited to LUH for an awards ceremony, receiving prizes supported by the Stiftung NiedersachsenMetall.
