Battle of the Brains 2025

Amidst the excitement, one event stands out for its humor, heart, and energy: the »Battle of the Brains«: The Ultimate Science Slam Edition. This much-loved tradition, hosted by Berlin’s seven Clusters of Excellence (Science of Intelligence, MATH+, UniSysCat, SCRIPTS, Neurocure, Temporal Communities, and Matters of Activity) transforms complex research into lively and entertaining performances. Researchers bring their work to life with everything from costumes and props to experimental setups, vying for the audience’s applause and the coveted title of best science slammer. For Matters of Activity, our members Yoonha Kim and Rasa Weber will join the stage and present their research. Anthropologist Yoonha Kim will explain why »Putting on a Different Clothing is a Revolutionary Act« and experimental designer, researcher & diver Rasa Weber will take us on a journey in »What the Reef? A Shared Dive Into Underwater Design Research«.

Free Entry. Admission on a first-come, first-served basis. Wheelchair accessible
