Long Night of Mathematics

12th Long Night of Mathematics 2027

From 3 p.m. until midnight, everything at the HKA will once again revolve around mathematics. Every two years, professors at the university demonstrate the many facets of this universal science in their contributions to the program. The topics are presented in a didactically understandable way. The event, which is well-known beyond the city limits of Karlsruhe, is not only aimed at math enthusiasts, but also at school pupils, prospective students and, last but not least, math skeptics, in order to dispel any reservations they may have.

The next Long Night of Mathematics is expected to take place in the spring of 2027.
Date and program will be posted on this page.

Admission is free. The event is barrier-free.
