Young Talent Promotion Project: Virtual Cleanroom (VRR)
In digital virtuality, the “cleanroom” system can be experienced easily and independently by school students and first-year university students—activities, equipment, job profiles, training opportunities, degree programs, etc. can be presented in a vivid, tangible, and direct way.
The existing range of offerings is diverse, so the pilot project for promoting young talent, “Virtual Cleanroom Tours,” aims to create a central platform for bundled presentation. The tool can be used in many contexts of science communication.
Subsequently, the experience gained from the virtual cleanroom offerings will be used to create a toolkit for producing new VRR tours, which will evaluate and describe defined criteria and can be used as a basis for subsequent use.
- Project duration: July 2024 to June 2025
