FameLab | Making science understandable in just 3 minutes!

13 April, 2018 News

Dozens of young people from all over Greece – inventive, charismatic and passionate about the science and the prospects it creates – competed this year at the preliminary stage of the international competition FameLab 2018 that is organised by the British Council in collaboration with HUB Science and with the support of Gerolymatos International. Ten of them achieved their goal! They will cross their swords during the Greek final on Saturday 28 April at 21:00 and they will compete on the stage of the Athens Science Festival with their communication skills as their only weapon.

The rules of the competition are specific: in the qualifiers the participants had 3 minutes to present to the jury a scientific subject of their choice. Those who were eloquent, comprehensible, entertaining, compelling and managed to capture the attention of the audience, won one of the ten tickets to the Greek final.

The big winner of the night will represent our country at the FameLab International contest, while the audience will have the chance to choose their own favorite via live voting. Do not miss the Greek final of FameLab, the world’s leading international science communication contest!
