The Stadt der Wissenschaft title is a prestigious trophy that’s passed from deserving city to deserving city by the German Science Foundation.
Given that we’ve got 4 universities
Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
Fachhochschule Mainz
Katholische Fachhochschule Mainz
Universitätsmedizin der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
6 research institutes and academies
Max-Planck-Institute
Helmholtz-Institut Mainz
Institut für Europäische Geschichte
Institut für Geschichtliche Landeskunde
Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz
Akademie der Wissenschaften & der Literatur
and 7 museums and libraries
Naturhistorisches Museum
Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum
Gutenberg-Museum
Landesmuseum
Dom- und Diözesanmuseum
Stadthistorisches Museum
Stadtarchiv und Bibliotheken der Stadt Mainz
it’s not a big surprise.
Plus the fact that the place is absolutely littered with brainy buggers, some of whom even read this blog……

>You will be pretty busy this year if you keep up with the schedule of events on emz2.de. Keep us informed through your blog.I like the Brezel Logo on emz2.de better than the stencilled one on these signs. There are obviously also energetic PR crowds at work!
>C'est moi! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>Are you a brainy-bugger too, JB?
>You gotta love the offer for Science and culture in this city. But curiously here in the Universität there´s not much info going arround about this … which is a pity because if I had known this a bit ahead I would love to participate in some of the actions going around the city.
>"brainy buggers"??? Does that apply only to your European fans?Must be a pretty heady experience living there.
