Berlin Science Talks
With the Berlin Science Talks, the Robert Bosch Stiftung offers a discussion platform for high-level representatives from science, politics and business. A closed forum permits experts to initially conduct open discussions about a socially relevant theme in science and exchange experiences. The focus is on identifying deficits and converting them into positive policy concepts and practical recommendations. The conference is followed by a public round-table discussion in which the results of the day’s talks are presented.

Blogs, social media, and open access - what opportunities and risks does Web 2.0 hold for the world of science? Will the established quality criteria and filters soon be obsolete? Will publishing in leading journals no longer be considered a seal of approval in the future? Who will be the "gatekeepers" of the scientific world in five to ten years? These were the questions discussed by the international panel of experts.
Women in Science: From the Sideline into the Limelight?
„Those who want to attract the best brains, achieve excellence and succeed in the international competition must ensure women’s equality in science and research.“
This was the demand formulated in a joint declaration by the guests at the 3rd Berlin Science Talks, including the former German Federal Minister of Education and Science, Edelgard Bulmahn, and Professor Dr. Jutta Limbach, former President of the Goethe Institute.
