The Art & Science Breakfast

Start your day with the art-science community. Hosted by Berlin Science Week and Haus der Kulturen der Welt, the Art & Science Breakfast brings together artists, researchers and curators for a relaxed morning of conversation and new connections, ahead of the Practitioner’s Route.

This breakfast is by invitation only. If you work in the field and think you should be at the table, but have not heard from us, please get in touch at events@berlinscienceweek.com. We cannot promise a place, but we would love to hear from you and will do our best to invite you.
