FameLab TU/e heat 2020 Online

Due to the measures to deal with the Corona situation, the FameLab TU/e heat 2020 will now go digital and take place as an online event.

During the digital FameLab TU/e heat, a number of young TU/e researchers will present a three minute pitch about a research topic of their choice. The FameLab competition provides an international platform that researchers can use to inspire and stimulate a large audience. Last year more than 30 countries took part in the FameLab competition. 

The two winners of the FameLab TU/e heat will go on to represent TU Eindhoven at the national final of FameLab, date and place will be announced soon (subject to the lockdown situation in the Netherlands). The winner of the Dutch FameLab competition will then go on to represent the Netherlands at the international final that is due to take place at the Cheltenham Science Festival in June 2020.

FameLab is an initiative of the British Council and is supported by the KNAW and VSNU.
