In special laboratories for pupils, that are situated at RWTH Aachen, school knowledge can be applied and further developed. Partnerships have developed between individual institutes and schools in the city and Aachen region. Additionally, RWTH Aachen collaborates with various networks and institutions, in order to promote further extracurricular learning. We also support and promote the participation of pupils in different regional and national competitions, or are involved the implementation of these.
