FameLab is a competition for physicists, engineers, biotechnologists and other scientists carrying out research in exact science, natural science, medicine, agriculture or engineering. Their task is to present their scientific research to the jury and the audience in the most attractive and understandable manner. Scientific correctness, the ability to explain complex scientific problems and charisma are what counts here.
Each participant has only 3 minutes to present the chosen topic. In their speech they may use any props, as long as they can carry them on the stage and operate them without any help from others. The rules of the competition forbid the assistance of multimedia aids.
