The "Berliner Nachtung" is an interdisciplinary seminar series about the
night, that happens during the night (or at least in the evening). The talks are generally given by
either an academic or a representative of nighttime industry (e.g.
lighting designers, hospitals, local governments).
The talks are either online as eNachtung or take place in Berlin, are usually about 30 minutes in length, and are
conducted in either German or English, with a bilingual discussion
afterwards.

For questions or feedback about the Nachtungen, please write info(at)nachtung.de.
The Nachtung was co-founded* by
Andreas Jechow, Christopher Kyba, Dietrich Henckel, Franz Hölker,
Josiane Meier, and Sibylle Schroer.
