Research Explained Creatively: Science Slam at BFI Tirol
Published
A Science Slam is taking place at BFI Tirol, presenting research in a special way. The event shows that scientific topics can also be conveyed in an entertaining and understandable manner.
At a Science Slam, researchers present their work in short talks. The contributions are usually limited to a few minutes and are meant to engage the audience immediately. Clear language, humour and creative ideas play an important role.
The format is aimed at a broad audience, that is, at people with and without prior knowledge. The goal is to foster contact between science and society and to awaken interest in research. Especially for young people and adults who have previously had little to do with science, such an event can offer a new way in.
Science Slams now take place in many cities in Austria and across the German-speaking region. They are regarded as a modern form of science communication. The audience often decides for itself which contribution it liked best.
The Science Slam at BFI Tirol shows how research can become lively and accessible. Further information on dates and participation is available directly from the educational institute organising the event.
