Science Talkies
Wetenschapswatcher en Nerdland-medeoprichter Hetty Helsmoortel nodigt enkele wetenschappers uit op het podium om hun onderzoek voor te stellen. Ontdek boeiende hot topics uit verschillende wetenschapsgebieden tijdens deze unieke voorstelling met licht verteerbare mini-lezingen. Wetenschap was nog nooit zo entertainend.
The science talkies are free to the public (please do reserve tickets) and are equally part of a program for professionals in which two filmmakers may eventually receive a production budget of 40,000 € for the creation of a new scientific documentary based on the research presented.
The selected projects are:
