FameLab is a global science communications competition whereby science enthusiasts share their knowledge and engage the public in effective ways through a three-minute talk. This year, the locally organised FameLab Malta competition hosted four finalists. A professional panel of adjudicators judged the finalists based on their talk鈥檚 content, clarity and charisma.
This year the FameLab International semi-finals and final will be held virtually in November and competitors from 23 countries will be on the virtual stage to compete for the title of global winner of the FameLab International 2021.
The local FameLab Malta competition was organised by Esplora in collaboration with British Council and supported by Arts Council Malta, University of Malta and MCAST, and was held during Science in the City.
