Xcool Lab

The European XFEL's Xcool Lab is a free offer for interested (initially) senior high school groups and classes of all school types. Here, students can investigate scientific questions and analyse them experimentally.

School laboratories for physics and molecular biology

The Xcool Lab enables practical learning through research-related modules with links to subject requirements at school. It consists of two state-of-the-art laboratories for physics and molecular biology. Students have the opportunity to experience science at first hand.
