BERLIN SCIENCE WEEK
BERLIN’S SCIENCE & CULTURE FESTIVAL
For the curious, across Berlin.
Berlin Science Week brings science out of institutions and into the city. Every year from 1–10 November, we transform Berlin into a playground of scientific ideas through hundreds of free events across the city. For partners, it provides a high-impact platform to engage new audiences, test ideas in public, and position research at the heart of cultural life.
SHAPE THE 2026 EDITION
The next edition of Berlin Science Week will take place from 1–10 November 2026. Strategic Festival Partnerships come with high-visibility, festival-wide presence and the opportunity to actively shape both the programme and messaging of the festival through bespoke full-day events and communication campaigns. We are currently inviting organisations interested in strategic Festival Partnerships to reach out to our team by 31 March 2026.

2025 HIGHLIGHTS
In 2025, Berlin Science Week marked its 10th anniversary by looking ahead rather than back. Under the theme Beyond Now, the festival explored how scientific research can help address pressing challenges while opening up new perspectives on the future.
Across the city, over 350 events, exhibitions, and participatory formats brought research into public spaces, from quick-fire science talks and hands-on programmes at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin to Art and Science formats at Holzmarkt 25 and the festival’s first exhibition, Beyond Us.
