Our past events

On June 26, 2026, Dresden once again became a city of science.
You explored the city, opened doors, asked questions, participated in activities, and experienced how science connects people.

✨ 35 participating institutions
✨ 806 program items across the city
✨ Science all over Dresden

Despite the high temperatures, activity continued throughout the city. Research, demonstrations, and discoveries took place in laboratories, lecture halls, workshops, exhibitions, and on stage.

Spaces for participation, questions, and curiosity emerged everywhere, supported by water stations, shaded areas, and cool indoor spaces that helped make the evening comfortable and accessible.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the network "Dresden - Stadt der Wissenschaften," all participating institutions, partners, and the many visitors who made this special night possible.

On 20 June 2025, it was once again time to open the doors to science, research and curiosity! You stormed laboratories, asked questions, took part, marvelled and showed: Science connects.

✨ 46,000 guests
✨ 33 organisers
✨ Over 670 events (over half for children and young people)

Interest was already high in the run-up to the event: contributions to the #LNDWDD were viewed over 200,000 times. No wonder - the programme offered something for everyone. From live experiments and lectures to hands-on activities, insights into laboratories and interactive exhibitions, the programme had it all.

The Dresden Science Night not only provided new perspectives on science and innovation, but also an opportunity to interact with researchers. There were many formats for discussion, questions and enthusiastic explanations.

The City of Dresden and the Dresden Science Night programme office would like to thank all participants, partners and guests.

Special thanks go to the many scientists who presented their work with so much commitment.
