🏆Looking Back: Visualized Science 2025 – Research That Makes the Invisible Visible

An unforgettable evening, stunning images, and captivating pitches: the Image Contest 2025 showed just how vibrant science communication can be. Browse the full gallery of submissions — and the stories behind them.

In the summer of 2025, scientists, researchers, and students from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and local partner institutions made the invisible visible. Under the theme „Visualized Science: The World Beyond our Senses“, they submitted their most compelling scientific images — from the microscopic world to the far reaches of space.

The opening on June 23, 2025 marked the start of the Pitch Your Image event: participants presented their image to a live audience and expert jury in just three minutes — engaging, creative, and scientifically grounded. The exhibition remained open to the public until July 4, 2025, when the winners were announced as part of the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften.
