History
The International Science Festival – Geist Heidelberg was founded in 2011 with the idea of “overcoming the popular separation of cerebral hemispheres and reconciling them in creativity.” (Jakob Kollhöfer, Festival Director and Program Director of DAI Heidelberg)
Having been graced since its inception with extraordinary guests, the festival has since committed itself to this principle every year, accompanied by tens of thousands of visitors from home and abroad.
