• What?

    NOX is Heureka's new event concept for adults. You'll leave the event smarter than you came. During the events we delve into current topics, discuss thought-provoking phenomena, and take a peek behind the scenes of Heureka's exhibitions.

  • To whom?

    NOX evenings are K18. The events have their own theme, but the structure of the evenings remains the same.

    NOX evenings feature two longer lectures, film analysis and NOX drinks. During the evening, visitors get the chance to tour two of Heureka's exhibitions and hear Behind the Scenes facts. The science restaurant will offer an evening meal in the spirit of co-creation, and the evening will culminate with H-Talk, where short intros about current research and topics will be heard.
