Learning how to create science comics

The spaceship of Zamara is launching again on October 15th 2025 with the release of Volume 4 of “LUX:plorations – A Universe of Research”. It features short comics about science and research in Luxembourg, each of which is developed collaboratively by two doctoral candidates working together with a Luxembourgish comic artist and the LUX:plorations team.
