Three students from Israel, all winners of the „Young Scientist Contest“ sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung - BMBF), visited AIP on 6 August.

Ramaa Jabareen (18), Taili Hardiman (18) und Noa Hen (17) are going to visit numerous scientific institutions on their three week long journey through Germany. They will also visit the Universities of Berlin, Munich and Mainz. Since 2013 the University of Potsdam organises these stays on behalf of the BMBF.

Many astrophysical questions were discussed while visiting the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, e.g. what the stars and the Universe are made of or how scientists explore our Cosmos. After a guided tour over the AIP campus the students got the chance to observe sun spots with one of the institute’s mirror telescopes.

The BMBF award emphazises the close collaboration between Israel and Germany on the fields of science, research and technology.

The key areas of research at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) are cosmic magnetic fields and extragalactic astrophysics. A considerable part of the institute's efforts aims at the development of research technology in the fields of spectroscopy, robotic telescopes, and E-science. The AIP is the successor of the Berlin Observatory founded in 1700 and of the Astrophysical Observatory of Potsdam founded in 1874. The latter was the world's first observatory to emphasize explicitly the research area of astrophysics. The AIP has been a member of the Leibniz Association since 1992.
