What is a Science-Slam? 

A Science Slam is a tournament for scientific / technical topics that are presented in a fun and interactive manner within the stipulated time. Apart from the scientific content, the entertainment value and presentation´s quality remains in focus. Very important: People are allowed to laugh; it should be fun for both the participants and the audience.
