This year we are again co-organisers of FameLab Switzerland and responsible for the semi-final in Basel. We are always looking for new people to take part in the competition, which is a low-barrier entry into the world of science slams with a 3-minute talk judged on the categories of content, clarity and charisma. The FameLab Switzerland website has very good resources on how the competition works and how to prepare for it. Here is also an example of the talk given by the winners of the Basel 2024 semi-final:
The competition is open to individuals aged 18 to 35 who study or work in STEM subjects (natural sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics) or in the following subjects in Switzerland: anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, linguistics, politics, psychology, and sociology.
The winners from the Basel semifinal advance to the Swiss final in September in Bern and are invited to a two-day master class in science communication.
