The Salon der Wissenschaft is an innovative event format developed, conceptualized, and organized by the Haus der Wissenschaft Braunschweig. It creates an open space for dialogue between citizens and researchers from the Braunschweig region – beyond traditional lectures. Instead of a stage, there are personal, eye-level conversations. Those who prefer listening over participating can simply grab a pair of headphones and listen in on a conversation.

The Salon der Wissenschaft took place on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, from 6:30 pm at the TRAFO Hub, Sophienstraße 40, Braunschweig. It was jointly organized by the association ForschungRegion Braunschweig e.V., which brought together the research institutions in the region, and the City of Braunschweig.

More than 30 scientists from research institutions in the Braunschweig region explained to visitors in one-to-one discussions what they were researching and what they dreamed of. Visitors were invited to ask questions and discuss exciting and forward-looking research topics.

4 slots, 20 tables, 15 minutes

At the Salon der Wissenschaft, participants exchanged ideas on a wide range of topics at individual tables in parallel 15-minute one-on-one discussions.

In four rounds of talks, the format allowed participants to discuss the contribution of research in the Braunschweig region in a personal and perspective-rich way. Those who did not want to take part in the discussion themselves simply picked up one of the provided headphones and listened to a conversation. Visitors were able to purchase tickets for the discussion rounds free of charge on site and borrow headphones.

During the breaks and after the end of the last round of talks, discussions continued over snacks from Feinkost Komplizen and drinks from the National Jürgens Brewery.
