It is a presentation contest where researchers present their work in front of a non-expert audience.
The focus is on making research interesting, engaging, entertaining and thrilling to the audience.
This will give researchers based in Japan the chance to showcase their work and talent for giving a lively and interesting presentation.
Each presentation will be performed in English in less than 10 minutes and can be supported by video, audio material, slides or any other kind of media, as well as by scientific equipment, everything is allowed!
Huge thanks to our five Slammers who did their best and all performed extremely well!
The audience had a tough time ranking them, but eventually the winner this year is Mr Muhammad FAJAR, from Tokyo Institute of Technology! Congratulations to him! We'll hear more from him after the trip to a EUropean Research Institution he won at the Slam, next June!
