Experience science in an entertaining way: Science Slam Special at BFI Tirol
Published
Science does not always have to be dry and complicated. BFI Tirol is proving this on November 19, 2026, with a special event: the "Science Slam Special." The goal of this event is to present complex research results from various disciplines in a way that is understandable and entertaining for a broad audience.
At a Science Slam, scientists take to the stage to present their current work in a short talk. There is one important rule: the presentations must not only be informative but also creative and humorous. Aids such as props or short live experiments are expressly permitted and encouraged.
The event is aimed at anyone who is curious about current research topics but has no interest in long-winded technical lectures. The relaxed atmosphere is intended to lower the threshold for engaging with scientific content. Participants also have the opportunity to interact directly with the researchers and ask questions.
The Science Slam at BFI Tirol is part of a growing movement that aims to promote science communication in Austria. By conveying knowledge in an entertaining way, the goal is to strengthen interest in education and research among the general public. Anyone who would like to attend on November 19 can find out more about the details and registration directly at BFI Tirol.
