In the organizer's words:

You never forget your first kiss, but you quickly forget faces and phone numbers. Even your own memories are often wrong. Because the brain keeps changing them while we sleep. The brain is fast and effective: island gifted people learn a language in just a few days. Can we do the same? What role do scents, stress, alcohol or medication play? What strategies are there? We will train. This is the promise of neurologist, film author and columnist for the "Kölner Stadtanzeiger", Dr. Magnus Heier. On January 12, 2026, he will take an entertaining and scientifically sound journey through the brain in the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" workstage. His thesis: A good memory is almost not a question of age! It's a question of technology. The second piece of good news: the brain is never full, on the contrary: those who know a lot learn a lot more more easily.

The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger Workstage is easily accessible by public transport (line 13/16, stop Amsterdamer Straße/Gürtel). Alternatively, guests can park their cars in the company parking lot.
