Many of the zdi networks and zdi student laboratories cooperate with universities throughout NRW. Many of the more than 100 zdi student laboratories are even located at a university. The close cooperation between zdi.NRW and the universities enables children and young people to get a taste of university life, try out MINT topics in modern surroundings and learn about the latest scientific MINT findings.
