Events
The Berlin Center for Global Engagement (BCGE) organizes in different formats and often in cooperation with other institutional partners events with international experts around the topics of science cooperation with the 'Global South', academic freedom and science diplomacy. With the theatre project Hidden Research, which is funded by the BMBF as part of the Science Year 2024, the BCGE is developing innovative event formats on the topic of scientific freedom.
