Discovery Festival is a nighttime festival with live scientific research, ultra short talks, science-related art, a high quality music programme, and a lot of mostly young and always enthusiastic scientists and artists.
The broad and varied programme of activities include over 30 activities: live scientific research directly involving researchers in contact with the visitors, an art exhibition with selected bio-art related works, and a music programme on the top floor and in the main hall with dj’s and sound architects. Some highlights: Mobile Eye Tracker, Brain Computer Interface for Music, The Body Lab, Cardboard Robot Battle, Renkas (live), MacGyver Science, Citizen Science, Fellow (live) and many more.
NBIC's contribution to the festival will be 'Foldit: Citizen Science'. Hannes Hettling, Punto Bawono and Hienke Sminia will guide you through the world of proteins and science. And challenging you to become a real scientist.
