MPI Open Day Information

Welcome to the Open Day of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics

On Saturday 13 May 2023, the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics at the Wundtlaan in Nijmegen will open its doors to the public. Come and marvel at scientific research into the origins of language. Visit interactive demonstrations and informative lectures. There are activities for everyone: children of all ages are welcome!

Since its foundation in 1980, the Max Planck Institute has been a global pioneer in research on language and communication. The research carried out at our institute touches various fields such as linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, genetics, sign language, computer science, medicine and acoustics.

Our approach is unique because our scientists study language at multiple levels, from molecules and cells, circuits and brains to the behaviour of individuals and groups.

• Come to the ‘Praatstraat’ with your kids and learn how your ear works by playing fun games!
   
• Always wanted to walk through a brain? Grab your chance in our VR lab!
   
• Want to know what language has to do with DNA, genes and heredity?
   

For these and many other interesting topics come to the Open Day at the Max Planck Institute!
