BERLIN SCIENCE WEEK
BERLIN’S SCIENCE & CULTURE FESTIVAL
For the curious, across Berlin.
Berlin Science Week breaks science out of institutions and into the city. Every year from 1–10 November, we transform Berlin into a playground of scientific ideas through hundreds of free events across the city. More than 200 organisations join Berlin Science Week every year, making it one of Europe’s leading science festivals.
For partners, Berlin Science Week provides a high-impact platform to engage new audiences, explore the resonance of their research with the public, and position research at the heart of cultural life.
FESTIVAL THEME 2026: IN TOUCH
Science is not distant, exclusive, or closed off. It's a collective adventure—an expression of the deeply human pursuit of knowledge. With this year’s festival theme, In Touch, Berlin Science Week 2026 focuses on the personal side of science: how research touches and improves our lives, affects the people behind it, and connects us with one another.
The 2026 programme highlights the people, institutions, and stories behind the scientific breakthroughs, exploring what happens when science is in touch, when it loses touch, and how it connects us all. Partners are invited to share their research and the stories behind it, engaging the public and demonstrating the real-world impact of their work. Learn more here.
