Who We Are
The Humboldt Forum is a centre for dialogue between world cultures emerging in the heart of Berlin. It will combine the elements of museum, library, university, and major event space under a single roof. In a tightknit alliance of culture, science, and education, the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the State of Berlin, and Stiftung Berliner Schloss – Humboldt Forum have already begun testing out innovative forms of cooperation. The Media Conference is meant to serve as a starting signal, launching the shared digital future of the Humboldt Forum.
What We Do
New media will play a special role in the Humboldt Forum. How can they help us investigate the digital and real worlds from different vantage points? How can they foster cultural diversity and help us convey different realities? What will be “state of the art” in the future? What does the digital tomorrow look like in the Humboldt Forum? At the conference, international experts from different disciplines will address these questions critically and with an eye to the future.
Where we’re going
Last but not least, the conference will bring experts into contact with the public, to help plan and develop strategies and standards for the Humboldt Forum’s overarching media concept as well as individual media projects. Follow-up occasions and events on entirely different topics are in the works. We hope your insights too will help influence the Humboldt Forum’s ongoing design process.
