Open Day 2026 at the Garching Research Campus


On 3 October, Munich Quantum Valley will once again participate in a campus-wide open house at the Garching Research Campus – this year in collaboration with and located at the Walther Meißner Institute (WMI).

The Garching Research Campus is one of the largest centers for science, research and teaching in Germany. Numerous institutions, including Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes, as well as various faculties of the Technical University of Munich and many more, will open their doors on 3 October to give visitors an exclusive insight into the diversity and excellence of research. The Open Day is deliberately timed to coincide with action day "Türen auf mit der Maus" ("Open Doory with the Mouse") of the popular WDR children's program, which takes place every year on 3 October and allows children in particular to take a look behind otherwise closed doors. The joint program offers something for every age!

This year, Munich Quantum Valley will be located at the WMI with tours, lectures and hands-on experiments. Interested visitors of all ages are welcome to learn more about quantum computing, how quantum computers work and in which areas future quantum computers could be used. Components of a real quantum computer make the abstract topic tangible. Cool, quantum-related pin buttons, which we will press together, will be a great souvenir.
