The GFFA Science Slam will take place at the GFFA on 17 January 2025 at the CityCube Berlin.

Within the topic “Farming a Sustainable Bioeconomy”, four slammers will give a ten minute presentation of their research subject in English – live on stage in Berlin!

Our GFFA Science Slam is a competition in which presenters get the opportunity to introduce their scientific research topic. The main aim is to communicate scientific concepts to a mixed, technically interested, but predominantly non-scientist audience. The focus will not be as much on competition as on communication of a specialist topic in a way that stimulates discussion and on interactions between the presenter and the audience.

The international and intercultural audience of the GFFA Science Slam is composed of members of industry, academia, politics and the public who are interested in agriculture and food issues. After the slam presentations, the audience rates these presentations in the form of an online vote. Not only the scientific contents but also the comprehensibility and the entertainment value of the presentations will be rated. The slammer with the highest audience rating receives a prize at the end of the event.

Are you able to explain the content of your work in an understandable and entertaining way in no more than ten minutes? If you are – then please check our participation information and apply here. Upon your successful application, you will receive a professional training in addition to our tips for successful participation. Please note that accommodation and travel expenses will be covered.
