On 2 November we will be back: the seven Berlin Excellence Clusters are organizing another science slam for the Berlin Science Week 2023. Last year’s great success demonstrated what a fun event it is and how much interest there is in the research areas of the seven Excellence Clusters. Make sure not to miss Berlin’s brightest scientists on the stage!

Early career scientists from the seven Clusters present their research projects in an engaging and entertaining way, as they compete for the honor of best Science-Slammer. As always: the louder the cheers, the safer the win! You can expect a potpourri of knowledge; from application-oriented mathematics, artificial intelligence, catalysis/green chemistry, and neuroscience, to active materials, and even to liberal democracy and world literature. Show up, support your favorites, and get smarter!

At our Science Slam, scientists try everything to entertain their audience. The sky is the limit when it comes to what’s possible. Costumes, props, movies, power-point presentations or other experimental setups – everything is allowed. The only limit is time – every slammer will have ten minutes at most. And the audience will decide which presentation is best through clapping and enthusiastic cheers!
