On January 8 and 9, a workshop on the topic of science slams will take place with the participation of the WoC GradNet, the GRK Contradiction Studies and MAPEX. Participants will learn how to present their own research topic on stage in an exciting talk and make it accessible to a lay audience in an understandable way. The workshop will be led by Dr. Julia Offe and Andreas Laurenz Meier from scienceslam.de.
