Join us for three days of free events built around the theme of this year's festival: ‘Empathy. For the naive or for the brave?’. During the Festival, we will look at compassion from a broad perspective – neuroscience, evolutionary biology, the development of Artificial Intelligence and ecology.

In order to meet the challenges of the future, we need to develop sensitivity not only to the needs of others, but also to entire ecosystems. Listen to the sounds made by corals and the singing of extinct bird species. Watch a swarm of collaborative robots and a guerilla hive for homeless bees. Bring your home-grown flowers to the plant clinic and have them undergo an ECG. Look at the world through the eyes of another person with the help of immersive technologies.
