How can complex scientific research be explained in just five minutes – while keeping an audience thoroughly entertained at the same time?

At the Eucor Science Slam 2026, six talented early-career researchers from Karlsruhe, Freiburg, and Strasbourg will take on exactly this challenge. Leaving technical jargon behind, they bring their research out of the laboratory and onto the stage, presenting their projects with creativity, passion, storytelling, and a touch of humour.

Whether through surprising analogies, unexpected demonstrations, or engaging narratives, the goal is to make cutting-edge research accessible, understandable, and memorable for everyone.

The Audience Decides Rather than a scientific jury, the audience will decide who wins via a live vote (using Mentimeter). Everyone interested in science is warmly invited to attend – no specialist knowledge is required, just curiosity and a willingness to be surprised.
