The Humboldt Residency Programme not only brings together a group of experts, but also connects them with representatives from policy making, civil society, and academia during the residency. The aim is to exchange information, create spaces for dialogue, and encourage a change of perspective.
A science speed dating event at the Disgusting Food Museum offered visitors the opportunity to learn more about the research of the programme members. There was also keen interest in the work of the Residency Programme at the open house of the German Bundestag. Here, visitors could also test their knowledge of nutrition in a quiz designed by the Residency cohort.
Meetings with civil society organisations such as Foodwatch and Weltacker, as well as with various research institutions in Berlin and Brandenburg, enabled networking between program participants and local stakeholders.
As part of Berlin Science Week, the Residency Programme hosted a pub quiz covering the entire spectrum of nutrition – from food chemistry and the historical origins of specific dishes to food-related song lyrics.
A special highlight was an experimental “dining experience” that invited 35 guests from non-profit organisations, politics, and science to reflect on the future of food over a three-course meal prepared by the Residency members.
