Brief History
From 2011 to 2019, Science & Cocktails in Copenhagen run at Christiania's cinema counting with the participation of scientists, artists, mixologists and cocktail masters.
In March 2017, Science & Cocktails established a collaboration with ForskerZonen at Videnskab.dk and ScienceNordic. Participant scientists at Science & Cocktails have written a series of interesting articles that complement their lectures(for the English version of these articles, see here).
From September 2017 to June 2018 the Science & Cocktails Foundation was supported by the Danish Ministry of Science (UFM) via the Tips and Lotto fund (Read the speech by the former Danish minister of research Sofie Carsten Nielsen). Science & Cocktails continues to collaborate with UFM during Forskningens Døgn.
Currently, Science & Cocktails is receiving the generous support of Novo Nordisk Fonden from August 2019 until the end of 2023 and operating both at Den Grå Hal and at DR Koncerthuset.
