Science Slam is a modern art form of science communication which has two goals; to entertain and to be meaningful. There are no other rules. Present a short pitch/presentation of a given project of yours – be it from your courses, your thesis or critical reflections and ideas – but preferable evolving around a global issue. Our poetry slammers will then transform your academic pitch into a poetry. The audience will vote for the best pitch and slam which will be awarded this year’s ‘globe award’. Afterwards you can chill out with your fellow Slammers, fans, friends and beers!

17:45 – 18:45: Embodying History, Humanising the “Developing”
This workshop proposes an alternative approach to history through dance and music. Its aim is to improve the human and cultural connection between the global “north” and “south”. Come ready to learn with your body and challenge existing narratives about “us” and “them”.

18:45 – 19:00: Farewell and see you next year
