How to organize and implement a Science Café - online

The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

Doctoral researchers (all disciplines) of the Berlin University Alliance.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.

Objectives

A science café is an opportunity for an audience to engage with scientists outside of a formal situation, such as in a lecture theatre or laboratory, and meet in the comfortable, informal atmosphere such as in a café , or in another informal setting where refreshments are available. Citizens can exchange with the expert(s) and learn something about the work they do and are encouraged to ask critical questions. The goal of these event types is to create a vivid dialogue and interaction between the experts and the public so that both gain new perspectives.
