FameLab – Talking Science

FameLab is the international competition for science communication and has been held in Germany every year since 2011. FameLab brings students and early career scientists to the stage in over 20 countries – the motto: “Talking Science”. This year, Dresden is the venue for the East German regional heat, which is organized by DRESDEN-concept and Dresden Marketing.

Taking part in FameLab offers not only public attention for your research topic, but also valuable experience in science communication, exciting contacts with other committed young scientists and, last but not least, lots of fun!
