Although FameLab is a competition, it doesn’t feel like one. The atmosphere of both the national and the international final is amazing and friendly. I’ve learned a lot about research I had no idea existed, made friends all over the world and experienced one of the biggest science festivals in Europe.
Are you ready to share your passion for science? If you think you can explain a scientific concept to a general audience, in just three minutes, then why not enter? You could become the new face of science, represent Switzerland at the FameLab International finals in the UK, and open doors to national and global opportunities in science communication!
