We’ll be presenting our work at the Long Night of the Sciences on Saturday, 28 June 2025. Come by and see us at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin for a language quiz, a blindfolded game of ‘guess the BRI country’, and short talks from some of our researchers. On top of all that, there will be an introduction to different types of infrastructure and map of the Belt and Road Initiative’s land and sea routes to help you visualise the breath-taking scale of the infrastructure project.
Our stand will be in the Lichthof West, together with others from the HU’s Institute of Asian and African Studies. We’ll be there from 17:00 to 22:00, and the following talks are open to all.
