FameLab Malaysia is back!

Calling all young Malaysian scientists with a passion for public engagement to participate in FameLab Malaysia 2016!

• FameLab is inviting scientists, mathematicians and engineers across Malaysia to take part in its flagship science communications competition.
• Contestants have just 3 minutes to convey a scientific concept of their choice.
• They will be judged by leading researchers, media personalities and science policy makers on the content, clarity and charisma of their presentation.
• 10 FameLab finalists will receive a weekend COMMUNICATION MASTERCLASS run by some of the best science communicators from the United Kingdom. This is one of the biggest prizes for all FameLab finalists. The finalists will learn why public engagement is important, develop invaluable media and presentation skills, and get the opportunity to network with scientists from many different scientific fields!
• The Malaysia winner receives RM3,000 cash prize and represents Malaysia to compete against over 30 other contestants from around the world at The Times Cheltenham Science Festival in June 2016.
