EURAXESS Links North America will organise on 24 September a SCIENCE SLAM EVENT at the American University in Washington DC. A Science Slam is scientific talk where scientists present their own scientific research work in a given time frame - usually 10 minutes or less - in front of a mixed audience. The focus lies on teaching current science to a diverse audience in an entertaining way. The competition is open to researchers based in North America regardless of their nationality or field of research. The winner of the competition will be granted with a free round trip ticket to Brussels, Belgium, to participate in the European Union's funded Conference 'EURAXESS VOICE OF THE RESEARCHERS' next 21-22 November 2013.
Please find the flyer in the attachment for online use. We have also developed a short trailer which can be seen at the following address:
