On May 15th of this year, the Science Salon entered its third round at the TRAFO Hub. Unlike other dialogue formats, the exchange was not intended to take place in large groups or moderated discussion rounds, but rather at individual tables in the form of parallel one-on-one conversations between the participants. 30 scientists from research institutions in the Braunschweig region explained to the audience in four discussion rounds what they are researching and what they dream of. Those who did not wish to participate in discussions simply listened to the conversations via headphones.
