Center for Space and Habitability (CSH)

Outreach

At the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) we offer events for researchers as well as outreach and educational activities for the public. Together with our partners and the space research community at the University of Bern, the CSH seeks to foster dialogue and interactions between various scientific disciplines, and aims to make space research accessible to all audiences.

For school visits, please contact Sophie Krummenacher.

This page is currently under construction. Soon you'll be able to find more detailed information on school and other visits, useful material and more.

Big Stars in Stellar Cities

Explore how giant stars live fast and leave their mark in the Universe's busiest neighborhoods. Big stars rarely live alone. Many of them are born, evolve, and die in dense stellar environments – these "stellar cities" are some of the most fascinating places in the Universe. We're excited to welcome two outstanding experts who will guide us through this cosmic metropolis: Corinne Charbonnel (University of Geneva/CNRS France) and Mark Gieles (University of Barcelona).
