Famelab Competition

Austria is looking for the new face of science

"We are looking for people who have scientific stars in their eyes, people who can present an entertaining, original and exciting talk that is scientifically accurate but appealing to a non-scientific audience". Kathy Sykes, Cheltenham Science Festival Director, UK

Based on the highly successful UK FameLab model, FameLab is a national talent competition to find the best new talent in science communication. FameLab contestants have just a few minutes to present a scientific idea to a panel of expert judges in an engaging way.
