Every year, the InScience film festival in Nijmegen opens up the world of science. They do this through film screenings, art, inspiring talks and by welcoming researchers to the festival. Visitors will have the opportunity to inform InScience's enthusiastic and inquisitive public about their research, while collecting data at the same time. The theme of this eighth edition, Experiments, puts the spotlight on this research once again. This upcoming edition will take place from March 15 to March 19 2023. As a proud partner of InScience, Radboud University is happy to help its researchers find a bigger audience through the festival.

All scientific disciplines are welcome at InScience. For example, in previous editions, researchers from Radboud University conducted the experiment Gaming against your brain. In a game between humans and computers, they tested whether AI can predict human actions based on brain activity.

The researchers from Utrecht University helped to overcome fear of speaking through Virtual Reality.
