Science on Stage: Boehringer Ingelheim's First Science Slam in Vienna
Published
On 20 October 2026, the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim held its first Science Slam in Vienna. Under the motto "When Science Connects," the focus was on the connection between research and the public.
At a Science Slam, experts present their research in short, entertaining talks. The aim is to explain complicated topics simply and comprehensibly. Five experts from two countries took part in the event in Vienna. According to the company, they shared a common mission: to make science accessible to a broad audience.
Boehringer Ingelheim is an internationally active company in the pharmaceutical industry. With the event, the company wanted to promote dialogue between science and society. The organisers emphasised that formats like this can help spark interest in research and allow questions to be discussed directly.
The Science Slam in Vienna was the first event of this kind by Boehringer Ingelheim in the city. Whether and in what form further dates will follow in the future was not mentioned in the published information.
