How does the future sound? How does it feel? What colours, shapes, and movements emerge when we question established practices in education?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the University:Future Festival Under Pressure<\/em>, we don\u2019t just want to talk about the future in 2026 \u2014 we want to make it tangible. To do so, we are opening the Experience:Space in Berlin and at other festival locations: a place full of surprises, where visions unfold beyond traditional stage and workshop formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we are looking for<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are looking for innovative, surprising, and creative contributions that invite visitors to touch, try, and experience, that make them laugh and wonder, and that make the digital transformation of higher education come alive. Whether it\u2019s robots, dancing paintings, HoloLenses, creative brainstorming sessions, or talking carpets \u2013 we can\u2019t wait to see how you make the future tangible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who we are looking for<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking for everyone who wants to offer inspiration you can touch: from robotics engineers to VR world builders, from visual artists to activists, from researchers to students with a wild idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All selected contributions will be realised on site in the Experience:Space. We provide the space, power, and internet \u2013 you bring the idea. Anything is possible, as long as it fits the festival and this year\u2019s motto, and is technically and logistically feasible. If you have any questions, we\u2019re happy to help at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Call for Arts & Experience of the University:Future Festival 2026 ran until 16.02.2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
