Benefits
The aim of "FameLab – Talking Science” is to encourage young scientists to inspire and excite the public’s imagination with a vision of science in the 21st century. On stage, candidates have just three minutes to present their topic to a panel of expert judges and to win over the non-scientific audience. (Presentations can be held in German or English.)
Participants will benefit from the following:
- Learning why public engagement is important
- Enhancing your presentation skills
- Training by some of the world's best communicators
- Networking with like-minded individuals during, and after, the competition
- Meeting people from many different scientific fields
