We invite you to join the first edition of Transform4Europe Science Slam, which will take place in Saarbrücken, Germany, on the 4th of October 2023. All subjects are welcome.
A Science Slam is a unique format of scientific communication where researchers present their work entertainingly and understandably to a non-expert audience. Each slammer has 10 minutes to showcase their research. The goal of a Science Slam is to make science accessible and engaging to a broader audience, to foster dialogue between scientists and society, and to showcase the diversity of research topics and methods across all fields of study.
If you haven’t seen a science slam before, have a look at this example: Stealing weight from Steel – Aniruddha Dutta (Germany’s Science Slam Champion 2018)
Interested slammers should contact: transform4europe@uni-saarland.de and put the respective local project manager in copy. Please, provide your name, your university, what degree you are studying toward (or if you are a professor, what degree you have), your field of study/research, and a short working title for your slam.
The deadline for applications is July 31st 2023. The slam has to be in English. For any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact Lukas Redemann (lukas.redemann@uni-saarland.de).
Travel costs and one night of accommodation for the slammers will be covered by Transform4Europe.
