The Motto of the SILBERSALZ Festival 2025
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.
From quantum computing and artificial intelligence to renewable energy and biotechnological innovation, modern technologies are reshaping our world. But they also do more: they spark dialogue, open spaces for encounter, and inspire us to think in new ways.
“Feel the Spark!” stands for energy, empowerment, equal opportunities for the future, and the collective strength to drive change.
At the SILBERSALZ Festival, you can experience films, talks, exhibitions, immersive installations, and performances that ignite reflection, build connections, and let the sparks fly.
We are preparing an outstanding program for you – stay tuned on our website and social media channels!
