The Festival of Ideas provides a space for intellectual freedom and independent thinking. Explore the questions that will shape tomorrow.

With the Festival of Ideas, the Robert Bosch Academy offers members of the public a chance to engage in dynamic conversations that span the entirety of Französische Straße 32, the home of the Robert Bosch Stiftung in Berlin.

Held on the first day of the Academy's Richard von Weizsäcker Forum, this year's theme is Forging Partnerships and Building Alliances. Join around 100 leading figures from politics, academia, culture, business, and civil society for a day dedicated to finding new forms of cooperation.
