Experience the 2026 Conference Live

The Nobel Lecture will focus on what is perhaps humanity’s most important technology: catalysis. Another public lecture will explore how the search for life in space is being conducted today. The opening ceremony promises exciting presentations, music, and the awarding of the Alexander von Humboldt Medal. In 2026, too, many young people will contribute to the success of the conference. Those who attend the 134th GDNÄ Assembly in person will experience a celebration of science with many highlights.

But even those who cannot be there in person are invited to participate in real time. All lectures in the Hansesaal of the Congress Centrum Bremen will be livestreamed, as will the opening ceremony with welcoming remarks on September 18 and the public lectures by Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Professor Benjamin List, “Organocatalysis for Our World” (Saturday, September 19, 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.) and Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureate Professor Thomas Zurbuchen’s “The Modern Search for Life in Space – From the Drake Equation to Astrobiology” (Thursday, September 17, 8:00 p.m.).

Access to the livestream is free of charge; no special technical requirements are necessary. All you need is a digital device and a good internet connection to watch live.

Note: The video recordings of presentations and other contributions – which will be posted on the GDNÄ’s own video channel after the 134th meeting and are also available free of charge – can be accessed indefinitely.
