Are you passionate about sharing the latest research? If there is a concept in science, maths, engineering or technology you can share on stage in just three minutes then FameLab is for you. FameLab is an international competition and a fantastic, exciting way to communicate research. Previous finalists have tackled curiosities such as “Can we stop ageing?” and “The science of love”. Since 2005, FameLab has been offering a snapshot into the world of science and the 2017 competition is about to begin!
UK competitors have the chance to win a weekend Master Class alongside media & communication skills experts. Successful competitors will be given the opportunity to appear in the FameLab International Final at the Cheltenham Science Festival in June 2017.
If you are currently working in science, technology, engineering or maths and over the age of 21 then you are eligible to join in. More details can be found on the website: http://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/about/famelab/eligibility/
