The IMPULSE-House
IMPULSE – House for Intellectual Innovation and Creativity - welcomes teachers and researchers at Bonn University: Professors, post-docs, doctoral candidates and students. The house at Adenauerallee 131 offers space for special concerns and special formats of scientific exchange between members of Bonn university and their collaboration partners.
IMPULSE is built on the belief that receiving and passing on impulses lies at the heart of scientific research. Built in 1901, the house offers four floors and a great variety of rooms with regard to their design and use. Among those, you will find rooms for events and group work alongside creative spaces and several individual offices. The work and event settings offered in these rooms evolve around an innovative, creative and experimental use of time and space.
