Science slam is a type of event seeking to popularize science and research. It is a contest of scientists showcasing their interesting scientific and research projects in a stand-up format talk.

Before each contest, contestants take part in a workshop of presentation skills so that they could use them in the best way for their talk. By doing so, scientists are becoming actors and their audience serves as a jury that makes a decision who are the best ones. There is also a jury which evaluate every performance.

Winners of home (local faculty or university) rounds will then take part in inter-university finals and give tours in schools and other promotional events all around the Czech Republic. Thus they will be able to show to a non-expert public that science and research has an irreplaceable place in our lives, and that there are always so many new and exciting things to be told in a funny, clear and simple way.

A talk itself lasts only 6 minutes. Audio-visual equipment is not allowed. Creativity, however, is not limited by any means. Come and help us show the public how they can find out about the latest discoveries, mysteries and breakthroughs in science and research.
