AI writes job applications. Assessments run automatically. And many of us are still figuring out what that means for an ordinary working day. 👩‍💻

Our Event Track "Work and Learning" asks how science is changing the way we learn and work, and what it means to work inside science itself.

From inclusive classrooms to startup culture, from open science to funding politics, science touches careers, institutions, and livelihoods.

🔬 Discover personal stories from research, new career perspectives, and conversations about what good work really looks like via the link in our bio!

Sechs Wissenschaftlerinnen der Zia-Jahrgänge kommen am 8 November auf die Bühne, um in kurzen, persönlichen Talks zu erzählen, was sie antreibt.

Freu Dich auf Kurzvorträge zu: 

🤖 Wie KI mit uns kommuniziert, und warum sie uns so überzeugend erscheint 

🎷 Was wir von Jazz-Musikerinnen über spontanes Entscheiden lernen können 

🔒 Wie neue Technologien unser Verständnis von Privatsphäre verändern 

🔬 Warum sich wissenschaftliche Wege manchmal wie ein Perfect Match anfühlen, auch wenn sie ganz anders aussehen als geplant 

☢️ Was eine Biologin in einem Teilchenbeschleuniger sucht, und wie das die Krebstherapie verbessern könnte 

🤟 Wie ein Lernspiel Kindern Gebärdensprache beibringt, und was ihre Fehler über Sprache verraten

Im Anschluss gibt's Raum für Austausch: über Karrierewege in der Wissenschaft, Hürden und Chancen für junge Forscherinnen, und wie wir die Wissenschaft der Zukunft diverser und sichtbarer machen.  

📅 8 November, 14:00–15:00
📍 Festivalzentrum, @hkw_berlin

Every time you board a train or trust a bridge to hold, you're relying on research you'll never see. Our Event Track "Everyday Infrastructure" makes it visible. This week, @braincityberlin Ambassador Prof. Dr. Meike Jipp shares her 3 must-see events from the track. Swipe through for her picks!

💭 Prof. Dr. Meike Jipp is Divisional Board Member for Energy and Transport at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Trained in psychology and computer science, she has spent much of her career exploring how people interact with complex technologies and transport systems.

Her work asks a simple but crucial question: How can technology be designed around what people actually need? From automated mobility and public transport to the wider transformation of our transport and energy systems, she brings together human behaviour, engineering and societal goals.

For Meike, innovation is not an end in itself. It matters when it makes everyday mobility safer, easier, more accessible and more sustainable. In her opinion, good technology starts with people and proves its value by making everyday mobility better.

Trust in science is built in small, patient ways: in classrooms, in communities, in conversations that take time.

And lately, that trust is being tested. Click-bait headlines. AI chatbots citing sources that don't exist. A friend forwarding you something you're not sure is even real. Sound familiar? 

This week's Event Track, Trust and Responsibility, asks what it takes to keep the connection between evidence and public life alive.

Check out our event recommendations for this year’s festival!
