For the first time , the University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN) is inviting visitors to Cube One on campus for the Long Night of Science. Between 5:00 p.m. and midnight, those hungry for knowledge can experience, try out, and help shape current research and projects firsthand.
The UTN sees its role as a living laboratory for the university of the future—a place that rethinks science, technology, and society in the age of artificial intelligence. The Long Night of Science offers the opportunity to experience this approach firsthand. In addition to insights into ongoing research projects, guests can expect a varied program with interactive stations, hands-on experiments, and talks.
Selection of highlights at UTN:
- Playing your way to strategy – Discover the world of game theory
How do humans and machines make decisions? Games such as the prisoner’s dilemma and the ultimatum game bring the principles of game theory to life – with fascinating insights into strategy, cooperation, and rationality. (Interactive exhibit)
- 3D geometry for puzzling and building
Polyhedrons, which are geometric shapes with corners, edges, and faces, can not only be admired at this station, but also constructed by visitors themselves. Visitors learn in a playful way how polyhedrons play a role in everyday life and research, for example in optimization or artificial intelligence. (Interactive exhibit)
- Knots, edges, tricky problems – hands-on graph theory
The UTN team invites you to puzzle it out: whether it’s the four-color problem, the Königsberg bridge problem, or the traveling salesman problem – mathematics becomes tangible here. Clear explanations and brain teasers bring the world of networks to life. (Hands-on exhibit)
- How AI systems are changing human-robot interaction
Scientists at UTN are demonstrating how robots are learning to understand visual and linguistic signals and act independently. Here we show how AI systems are already shaping the future, from drones in rescue operations to interactive robots.
- Research, teaching, careers – UTN as an AI university
At this station, interested visitors can learn how UTN approaches research, teaching, and administration in a digital, interdisciplinary, and future-oriented way, and what opportunities this offers students, researchers, and staff.
- The Cognitive Psychology Lab at UTN
How do we remember the past? How does technology influence our thinking? The Cognitive Psychology Lab presents current projects related to perception, memory, and cognition—with interactive elements and short lectures.
A diverse lecture program demonstrates the broad scope and interconnected nature of research at UTN. Topics range from how children learn to understand others, to new teaching and learning concepts and the role of AI in science, to sustainable energy and climate protection. There will also be a live podcast recording by the three universities FAU, Ohm, and UTN on the topic “Do we really want to leave creativity to AI?” at the FAU campus.
With the Long Night of Science, UTN is not only opening its doors, but also a window into the future of research, learning, and technology.

About the University of Technology Nuremberg
The University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN), founded in 2021, is the first newly established public university in Bavaria since 1978. The UTN is a living laboratory building a university for the age of AI and the rapidly advancing changes in technology, business and society. The UTN strives to become a strong regional force in research, teaching and transfer and an internationally leading university of the 21st century with regional roots and a global outlook.
The 37-hectare, sustainable UTN campus will form the center of the new Lichtenreuth district in Nuremberg, close to the historic city center. Around 6,000 students, 200 professors and at least 2,000 employees will study and work there. Study programs will integrate aspects of technology, liberal arts, social sciences and natural sciences to ideally prepare students for the interdisciplinary requirements of the new world of work.
