Showcase: Wissenschaftlich belegt
‘Wissenschaftlich belegt’ ('Scientifically Proven') is an evening event which is jointly hosted by Bielefeld University and the Wissenswerkstadt. The programme is held four times a year and revolves around the exchange of ideas and features open discussions about various scientific topics. As an open science café, ‘Wissenschaftlich belegt’ goes beyond purely academic discourse - instead, researchers from Bielefeld University strive to present their works in a way that make them more understandable and accessible for the attendees so that everyone can properly engage in the group discussion. For this purpose, the researchers are joined by moderator Andreas Liebold. Sandwiches and drinks are served on-site alongside fresh ideas and perspectives. The entry is free.
