The Munich Science Days were led until 2008 by Karl Daumer and until 2007 were organized by the Association of German biologists.
The assoziation includes representatives of the major scientific institutions from the Munich area, including all universities in Munich, Max Planck Society, Fraunhofer Society, German Aerospace Center, Helmholtz Zentrum München and others.
Central venue areas of the previous events were the Marienhof (2001), the Technische Universität München (2002-2003), the Bundesgartenschau (2005) and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2004, 2006–2008, 2010, 2011).
At the Munich Science Days, experts from research groups, organizations, and institutes are prepared to explain, through dialogues, the sometimes difficult issues of science and technology, and to discuss questions of actual and perceived risks and benefits with visitors.
The Munich Science Days have become a permanent fixture in Bavaria, and attracts about 25,000 interested visitors annually and encourages participants to think and ask.
