Pint of Science 2025
Pint of Science is an international science festival that takes research out of the ivory tower - and brings it directly into bars, pubs and cafés. Once a year, scientists in over 500 cities in 27 countries around the world talk about their work in a relaxed atmosphere - personal, understandable and close to real life.
On May 19 and 20, research, laughter and amazement will once again take place in Düsseldorf - in the middle of the pub! Researchers from Heinrich Heine University will leave their institutes and bring their topics directly to the bar.
In a cozy atmosphere, they provide exciting insights into current topics from biology, linguistics, physics and economics. Whether plant research, space travel or dialects - the talks are entertaining, easy to understand and make you want more science in everyday life.
May 19 | DIE FLIESE – Café Bar Kultur, Flügelstraße 58

- Zoologist Dr. Kai R. Caspar explains why primates, too, have rhythm in their blood.
- Linguist Prof. Kevin Tang reveals what a drink does to our articulation — and how alcohol affects the way we speak.
May 20 | Konvex, Albertstraße 113
“9-euro tickets, space travel, and linguistic chaos – science in all its glory!”
