Every three years Germany's most important conference for science journalists moves. This year, the WISSENSWERTE organised by CONGRESS BREMEN will be held in Freiburg from Monday to Wednesday, 30 November to 2 December. With a total of 5 universities, 30 centres and 20 institutes, the city offers the ideal conditions for the event: an active science scene.

The participants will spend two days at the Freiburg Exhibition Centre dealing with topics focusing on knowledge, data and media. On the third day, the working conference "Science Journalism in the Digital Age" (SciCon) will start at the Messe Freiburg. Then both conferences will have a joint program in which some speakers from the other event will also participate.

Freiburg is so far the most southerly guest venue of the WISSENSWERTE - in 2014 it was held in Magdeburg, in 2017 in Darmstadt.
