Mitmachen, staunen, informieren: Transferale - das Berliner Wissenschaftsfestival für Klima & Gesundheit

Science Meets the Neighborhood: At the Transferale Festival, Berlin’s research comes to life over five days—with a neighborhood festival, a “Campus of the Future,” and a Science Slam.

How can Kotti become safer? How does a pavilion stay cool without air conditioning? And what exactly does a breathing robot do in elder care? Answers to these and many other questions are available at the Transferale science festival—five days long, free of charge, interactive, and taking place at various locations throughout Berlin.

Highlights of the Week

Future Campus & Science Slam – Friday, July 3, Villa Elisabeth, Berlin-Mitte 
Ten research projects to try out, one-on-one conversations with female scientists during a rickshaw tour through Berlin-Mitte—and starting at 7 p.m., the entertaining Science Slam, where female researchers have ten minutes to prove that their work truly makes a difference in Berlin. From textiles made from mushrooms to extracting water from the atmosphere.

Experience science in the neighborhood:
Neighborhood Festival on Wednesday, July 1, in and around the GLASBOX Makerspace at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences in Wedding. Here , you can discuss solutions for a resilient city with stakeholders from the university, the neighborhood, and the Berlin Fire Department, among others. You can also finally fix your old toaster at the Repair Café, spruce up your bike, or try out sewing and embroidery machines, 3D printing, and much more in the open workshop. Children can explore the inside of a Berlin Fire Department fire truck and learn basic tips on what to do in an emergency.

What Does Aging Well Look Like?
If you want to know what a good life in old age can look like, head to Pflege & Wohnen Sunpark in Neukölln onThursday, July 2. There, you can meet the breathing robot Neffy and learn more about heat protection.
