The innovation ecosystem greenCHEM (a joint project of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, and Technische Universität Berlin) and the Hybrid Plattform (a transdisciplinary project of the Berlin University of the Arts and the Technische Universität Berlin) are looking for an artistic contribution as part of the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Berlin on 28 June 2025.
The call for proposals is aimed at artists of all types who deal with current challenges of the climate crisis and questions of rethinking sustainable lifestyles in an experimental way. The desired artistic contributions and research projects are focused towards chemical thematics, processes, products or materials, are open to experimentation with them in their artistic research strategies and can benefit from collaboration with the greenCHEM and Hybrid Platforms teams in the spirit of transdisciplinary work. The project is open to all types of media from spatial installations, exhibitions to performances.
The funding provides cooperation opportunities with chemists creating applications in green chemistry who can provide insights into the world of chemistry, the chemical industry and who can scientifically enrich the artists’ experimental approach through, such as through laboratory visits.
The project includes a fee of 2,000 EUR, material costs up to 500 EUR, practical research support by the greenCHEM team, a workplace in the Hybrid Lab and a presentation at the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften.
