*** Are you looking for a New Year’s resolution for 2020 which doesn’t involve exercising more or spending less money? Do you love entertaining friends and family with the latest discoveries or science fun facts? Then why don't you challenge yourself and test your public speaking skills? ***

Come and join FameLab 2020, one of the biggest science communication competitions in the world, and become the new face of science in Switzerland! The best participant will have the honor of representing Switzerland at the FameLab International final at the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK.
 
The competition is open to everyone studying or working in STEM subjects (Life Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Geosciences, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Social Sciences).  

Win over the crowd and the judges with an original 3-minute talk on a scientific topic of your choice. Be scientifically accurate, but clear and charismatic! 
Let go of the PowerPoint safety net; you can bring on stage props or your best costume!

Get inspired by Swiss FameLab 2019 winner, Outman Akouissi (EPFL), Swiss FameLab 2018 winner, Dmitry Kopelyanskiy (UNIL), FameLab International 2019 winner Tim Gordon from the United Kingdom, and more!
