As part of the project, various - partly virtual - events were organised at the Museum für Naturkunde (including a panel discussion, world café, scientific coffee klatch, writing workshop, comic workshop, gala evening). These dialogue-oriented event formats resulted in a multimedia exhibition, which was curated by Ellery Studio (Berlin) both in the museum and on its own website. The framework was provided by the "Experimental Field for Participation and Open Science" at the Museum für Naturkunde.

The new, open format for the Year of Science has shown: The future of the "bioeconomy" can be shaped, but this raises questions: Will the chemical industry switch its raw material base from crude oil to renewable raw materials? Will bioplastics solve the plastic problem? Will we be wearing biotechnologically produced textiles in the future? Will we eat meat substitutes produced in bioreactors in the future? Can the bioeconomy ultimately be a sustainable form of future economic activity?
