Regional Competition of FAMELAB 2018 “Talking Science” – ALGARVE.

FameLab is an exciting global competition that seeks out talented communicators in the field of science. It is one of the largest science communication competitions in the world, challenging scientists and students to explain a scientific concept in just three minutes, and the winner can receive incredible prizes. The aim is to involve people outside the scientific community, break down stereotypes, get the public excited about science and justify the use of public funding. Participants apply by sending a video of their presentation, and the quality of the video is not as important as the ability to convey the concept clearly and engagingly. The use of props is permitted, but PowerPoint presentations are not.
