Berlin Science Week @FORUM

In the organizer's words:

Where art, science and society intertwine.

On the second weekend of the festival, from November 7-9, Berlin Science Week will take over Holzmarkt 25 and transform it into a creative hub for transdisciplinary exchange.

For three days - each guided by a central question - the FORUM will bring together researchers, artists, initiators and the public to ask from different perspectives: How do we shape what comes next? The program includes discussions, workshops, performances and pop-up stands that invite people to exchange ideas, experiment and imagine together.

For its 10th anniversary, the FORUM is celebrating a premiere: the first exhibition curated by Berlin Science Week. It presents pioneering projects at the interface of art and science and challenges us to look beyond the urgency of the present and turn to the futures that are still emerging.

You can find the entire Forum program here!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

• Exchange ideas: Take part in interactive formats, try out ideas, share methods and discover new ways of thinking.
• Networking: Meet artists, scientists, initiators and curious minds. Make contacts and start conversations that will have an impact beyond the festival.
• Performances After Dark: Experience riverside performances that combine movement and sound with scientific curiosity.
• Pop-up stands: Discover at pop-up stands how institutes and artists present projects that combine science, art and everyday life.

EXHIBITION: BEYOND US

To mark its 10th anniversary, Berlin Science Week is presenting Beyond Us, its first dedicated exhibition. It shows the work of Marco Barotti, the Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year 2025 in the Art & Science category. The focus is on his award-winning Coral Sonic Resilience project, a series of underwater sound sculptures that explore how the soundscapes of healthy coral reefs can contribute to the recovery of damaged ecosystems.

EVENING PROGRAM IN THE FORUM

On three evenings, art, science and technology come together in sound, image and performance. Discover our evening program with Angela Aux's transmedia sci-fi concert of music, video and speculative storytelling; Moritz Simon Geist's techno-robotic live show in which machines make the music; and the ART+SCIENCE SALON Séance for Science - a participatory exploration of faith in the age of AI, accompanied by live music.
