Zukunftstag 2025 in der Historischen Sternwarte Göttingen – Ein Einblick in die Psychologische Forschung

Am diesjährigen Zukunftstag durften wir in der Historischen Sternwarte Göttingen sechs neugierige Nachwuchsforschende begrüßen – drei Mädchen und drei Jungen –, die einen interaktiven Einblick in die Welt der Psychologie erhalten haben.

The focus of the day was the question: What defines psychological research – and how can one become a part of it? In varied workshops, participants explored various career fields in psychology and learned in a practical way which paths – even outside of a traditional degree psychology – can lead into the exciting field of psychological research.

Special highlights were three live demonstrations from current research:

  • an EMG demonstration to measure muscle activity,
  • an insight into our dyadic interaction platform,
  • and an eye tracking experiment.

The feedback from participants was consistently positive. One participant summed it up as follows: "I really enjoyed the experiments." Another participant added: "We learned a lot about psychology and what it takes."

A thoroughly successful day full of curiosity, insights, and inspiration – we are already looking forward to Future Day 2026!
