You are passionate about science and like to share it with a wider audience? You love to entertain your family and friends with the latest scientific discovery or fun facts about science? You like to challenge yourself and want to improve your public speaking skills?
Then you should join FameLab 2022, the international competition for science communication, and register for the regional FameLab heat (semi-final) in Basel which will take place on April 28.
Get inspired by having a look at https://www.famelab.ch/impressions and watch the talks of last year’s participants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvG0_nwH1_A
You are eligible to participate if you are between 18 and 35 years old and studying a STEM subject (natural sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics) or working in one of these areas in Switzerland.
Due to the still uncertain Covid situation, the FameLab heats 2022 will take place in a virtual format. FameLab talks will be pre-recorded on campus (there will be no audience and no questions from the jury). The jury will then evaluate the talks and choose three winners. The winners will participate in a master class on June 10 and 11 and take part in the on-site national final in September in Bern. Further information about how it works is available here: https://www.famelab.ch/how-it-works
So what are you waiting for? Register now for the semi-final in Basel here (registration is open until April 11): https://www.famelab.ch/apply
