‘Days of Art & Science’ bundles various activities at the intersection of Art & Science

Including Brave New World, Brave Young Minds, Wavelength Festival and the Night of Discoveries.

Leiden, July 11, 2023 – This coming September, Leiden will host its first interdisciplinary event called ‘Days of Art & Science’. The Days of Art & Science – this year from September 11 to 17 – includes various unique activities at the intersection of art and science, completely in the spirit of the city. Each event has its own special experience, such as the Night of Discoveries, Brave Young Minds, Brave New World and Wavelength Festival.

Art & Science as a catalyst

“The Days of Art & Science aims to join forces of multiple organizers and to offer a platform to artists and scientists who combine art and science in their own unique way,” says Alexander Mouret, program director of the Days of Art & Science. “At the same time, it should be a catalyst for a conversation with a broad audience about the future of our society and the role of art and science.”

Varied program

The ‘Days of Art & Science’ offers a varied multi-day program for a broad target group. A bundling of the most diverse events ensures that children, students, scientists and cultural creators are addressed by multiple components of the program. Existing events such as Brave New World and the Night of Discoveries are also included.

Future perspective

With the Days of Art & Science, Leiden wants to create a distinctive multi-day programme at the intersection of Art & Science. “A great ambition”, says Martijn Bulthuis, director of Leiden&Partners and also initiator. “We strive to become a leading label that is known for its innovative and groundbreaking events. A place where young scientists and artists get the chance to present their work and inspire a broad audience. In doing so, we want to promote the dialogue between art and science and contribute to the development of new insights and applications in the field of art, science and technology”. This year, the organisation is carefully starting to sow the name and to programme and bundle existing activities.
