A spark may be small – yet it has the power to ignite something extraordinary. It symbolizes the moment of connection: when ideas ignite, atoms collide, or people come together in conversation.

Under the motto “Feel the Spark!”, the SILBERSALZ Festival 2025 celebrates these transformative moments – at the intersection of science, art, and society.

On 25 September 2025, renowned media scholar Bernhard Pörksen will join the “Irritate Me” series for a conversation with Peter-André Alt about the power of language, the responsibility of the media, and ways to create spaces for genuine discourse.

We are looking for a team member in Finance and HR.

For the upcoming SILBERSALZ Science & Media Festival (October 29 – November 2, 2025), we are looking for a Curator (m/f/d) with expertise in science communication and/or cultural or media studies to lead the planning and execution of the festival’s discussion formats.

We are currently seeking a Program Assistant Intern (m/f/d) to join our team immediately.
