COMING TOGETHER
At Berlin Science Week, we believe that science is for everyone. Our festival is a space for open-minded exploration, where science can be discovered in unexpected places and diverse perspectives are celebrated. Under this year’s theme, Common Ground, we invite respectful, constructive dialogue that fosters togetherness. We value the exchange of ideas from all fields, as we push the boundaries of knowledge together.
To create an inclusive and welcoming environment, we ask everyone to be open and mindful in their interactions. Hate speech and propaganda have no place here.
