Dialogue with the public

Our events bring science and society into conversation. Researchers give a short presentation on the latest findings and then discuss them with the audience.

Reatch’s nanoTalks are a platform for short, inspiring talks on science, technology and the arts.

In 15 minutes, early-career researchers and creatives get to the heart of their topic and make it accessible to a wide audience. Afterwards, there’s time for questions, discussion and drinks.

The nanoTalks give speakers a chance to practise explaining complex topics and get feedback, while offering audiences new perspectives.

Pizza, Philosophy & Science

Where does physics reach its limits and philosophy take over? Can artificial intelligence advance medicine? What responsibility do I bear for my actions? What is intuition? And who took the last slice of pineapple pizza?

Over pizza, we discuss questions from philosophy and the natural sciences in a cosy living room with an expert in the field. The events bring together different disciplines and require no prior knowledge.

Each session starts with a short talk by the expert, followed by questions. Then there’s pizza and time to talk and meet people. After the break, we explore specific aspects of the topic in small groups and share what we learned with everyone.

Reatching into the
Rabbit Hole

Science meets emotion. Reatching into the Rabbit Hole (RRH) takes you on an imaginary journey into a possible future. Just as Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, we follow someone who knows a scientific hypothesis or technology well and consider what it could mean for society.

Is the scenario plausible? Would we want to live in that world? What would it take to make it happen or prevent it? Exploring a possible future makes abstract topics tangible and gives us something concrete to discuss.
