Experience the thrilling showcase of scientific talent and communication at FameLab Northern Ireland’s live final, featuring finalists competing with charm, scientific expertise, and innovation in a three-minute window.

Participants have just three minutes to convey a scientific concept of their choice to an audience and expert panel of judges. The winner is the speaker who best demonstrates FameLab’s 3 C’s – Content, Clarity and Charisma. FameLab was created by Cheltenham Festivals in 2005 and is the largest science communication competition and training programme in the world.

Hosted by Emer Maguire.

This year’s judges include Rob Hill from NI Space and Chair of the MATRIX panel and Dr Frances Weldon ALMAC Group.
