A look back on the Science Summit 2021

The value of breakthrough research has hardly ever been more evident as it is the groundbreaking work of scientists that will allow us to overcome the pandemic. We received more than 1000 nominations from 115 countries in the search of the Science Breakthroughs of the Year in 10 categories.

The distinguished juries chaired by Helga Nowotny, President Emerita of the European Research Council, have elected the Science Breakthroughs of the Year 2021 in the categories Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Social Sciences & Humanities, Art & Science, Future Learning, and Science & Innovation Management.

BREAKTHROUGH CONVERSATIONS 2021

Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and in partnership with Springer Nature, the Breakthrough Conversations offerred the extraordinary chance to attend a live streamed interview with breakthrough thinkers and to engage with them in real-time.

The Breakthrough Conversations ran parallel to the main Science Summit programme on 8 and 9 November, with each interview lasting 25 minutes and focusing on our high-level guests’ individual research, career paths and experiences. The digital audience was encouraged to actively engage in the dialogue-oriented online meeting guided by a professional moderator provided by our cooperation partner Springer Nature.
