Science Slam

When the Science Slam takes to the stage in Building 9, scientific curiosity and the performative joy of experimentation meet at eye level. Young researchers from a wide range of disciplines condense complex topics into pointed short presentations that unfold their liveliness in direct exchange with the audience. The event combines scientific precision with a playful presentation culture that shows how research can be experienced beyond formal conventions. Building 9 provides a deliberately unpretentious setting for this: a place where discourse, pop culture and urban history intertwine anyway. The evening opens up approaches to questions from the natural, social and cultural sciences, without superficial simplification - but with an invitation to expand intellectual horizons and question supposed certainties. Visitors experience how knowledge is transformed performatively when scientific content is presented in a narrative, humorous or experimental way. At the same time, a space is created in which reflection, dialog and critical curiosity are not seen as marginal phenomena, but instead form the core of the format. In this way, the Science Slam becomes an opportunity to combine intellectual depth with a collective experience that makes research approachable and at the same time discursively comprehensible.
