Passionate about Science?

Three minutes is enough time to make tea. But to explain scientific theories about the end of the universe? Or the functions of stem cells? In the FameLab science competition, young scientists have 180 seconds to explain their research topic to the audience and a top-class jury. Technically correct, entertaining and captivating. During their 3-minute talk participants may use minimal props - anything is allowed as long as they carry it on stage themselves. 

Every year, impressive young scientists perform on stage at the FameLab regional heats throughout Germany. The two best participants from each of the preliminary heats then take part in the FameLab Germany finals in Bielefeld, where they compete for the chance to represent Germany at the international FameLab finals.
