Curious2024 - Future Insight™ Conference

The Curious Future Insight Conference is one of the world's largest biannual conferences on science and technology. This year it will take place on July 10 and 11, 2024 in the Rheingoldhalle in Mainz.  

Curious was initiated in 2018 by the science and technology company Merck on the occasion of its 350th anniversary and takes place every two years. Future Insight e.V. was founded to realize the Curious Conference. The high-caliber speakers make the conference an event with cross-border attention. The focus is on science and combines technology and innovation. It addresses science's response to the major social challenges of the present in order to look towards a better future. These include topics such as: Health, nutrition, synthetic biology, material sciences, digitalization, artificial intelligence, robotics, energy, mobility, the secrets of the human brain and new forms of global cooperation. The target group of the conference are scientists from academia and industry interested in interdisciplinary dialog, as well as postdocs, doctoral candidates, students, forecasters, strategists and the interested public. 

The state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the state capital Mainz are jointly supporting the congress and we are delighted that we were able to bring this conference format to Mainz.

The event will take place in hybrid form, so you can take part in person or online. On-site and online tickets are available on the event's homepage.

There are various opportunities for scientists to participate. Applications can be submitted with an abstract for a "Short Talk", a "Poster Presentation" or for a stand at the "Start-up Fair". The application deadline is March 31, 2024.
