The MS Wissenschaft is a floating science center with exhibits that visitors can try out and touch—and during the Year of Science 2026, it will feature interactive exhibits and events on “The Medicine of the Future.” It shows how researchers are already shaping the medicine of tomorrow and how personalization, prevention, and new technologies help us stay healthy.
Board in Heilbronn: July 31 – August 2
The MS Wissenschaft will be cruising on rivers throughout Germany in the summer of 2026 and will dock on the banks of the Neckar in Heilbronn—one of TUM’s campuses—at the end of July. Admission is free.
Featured: The Operating Room of the Future from TU Dresden and TUM
On board the MS Wissenschaft, step into the virtual operating room developed by TU Dresden and TUM as part of the 6G-life Transfer Hub. Here, you’ll take control and experience firsthand how a gallbladder is removed. You’ll be right in the middle of the action as artificial intelligence detects diseases based on the tiniest signs and robotic arms execute movements with a smoothness and precision that no human could match.
