ZuBerlin 2024 is over, but you can join us at ZuGarden, our next residency in Thailand ✨
Completely sold out: Berlin's immersive, cutting-edge tech residency!
June 8th – June 22nd 2024
ZuBerlin is a two-week immersive residency to connect a group of 80-120 peers working, collaborating, and learning together at the bleeding edge of technology in a fascinating, co-creative space in Berlin. It's inspired and created by participants of Vitalik's Zuzalu and ZuConnect.
The goal is to bring together different fields of cutting-edge technological innovation and coordination (such as distributed systems, cryptography, AI, neuroscience, biotech, etc.) as well as the human aspect of the people working behind these things. The in-person aspect not only allows for deep human connection, but also provides space for a different level of exploration and synergy through non-time-bound presence with each other and spontaneous, emergent interactions.
This 2024 residency took place between June 8th to June 22nd right after ETHPrague and Berlin Blockchain Week, and another edition is planned for 2025. In the meantime, we are preparing our next residency in Thailand called ZuGarden.
Work in a way that feels different
You will find a welcoming environment with plenty of open spaces designed to encourage interactions and connections with others who share your interests and passions. This isn't just an ordinary workspace; it's a place where we transform work into a fun, creative, and shared experience.
ZuBerlin Hackathon
The ZuBerlin experience would not be complete without building – get ready for a cozy hackathon from June 14-16! Spaces are available for ZuBerlin attendees as well as selected guest hackers.
Join workshops for another depth of connection
Apart from the tech and hacker scene, Berlin is also known for the vast amount of workshops you can find here. We'll bring in some experienced facilitators to give space for emotional exploration and depth with each other
Reimagine the future
You can be sure that among the people you tinker with, there will be some who will truly push the boundary of how technology can improve our lives in the future → Maybe it's you?
Main themes and tracks
Centering around technology and humans at the cutting edge of innovation
Mechanism Design and Incentive Structures
Work on fascinating problems involving complex incentive systems within and outside of blockchains, using methods such as simulations and agent-based modeling.
Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Agents
AI is already shaping our world and will do so more and more. It has truly disruptive potential and brings up big questions of ownership, control and direction.
Applied Cryptography and Scaling
Zero Knowledge Cryptography is an emerging paradigm with tons of unexploited potential. Starting from privacy and scalability the range of use cases is constantly expanding.
Neuroscience, NeuroTech and BioTech
How your brain actually works continues being a fascinating and unsolved riddle. How can Neuroscience and NeuroTech enable it to interact more directly with technology?
Governance and Public Good Funding
Technology can aid but not entirely solve human coordination. Exploring decentralized structures like DAOs raises questions about fair and efficient fund allocation while minimizing bureaucracy.
Immersive Experiences and the Human Aspect
Uniting a curious and creative group of people is immensely valuable, which can be amplified further through emotional depth and special types of exploration unique to Berlin.
What's next?
ZuBerlin 2024 is already over and was completely sold out. We are now preparing our next event in Thailand, which will take place during and after Devcon. We can't wait to see you there!
