ICTA-UAB, IBB and INc research institutes organize the Elevator Pitch competition

The challenge consists in participants explaining the research they are conducting in under two minutes in an interesting and entertaining way, and with comprehensive language. To do this, the call included a free course offered by the Big Van Science group in which participants learned new skills to talk about science in public.

In four training sessions, participants acquired formulas and techniques used for on-stage oral communication so that they can enjoy the experience of raising the public's interest in their scientific project. The training course was held every Tuesday of February 2019.

The Elevator Pitch competition will be held on March 14, 2019 in the rooftop greenhouse of the ICTA-UAB building. The access is free and open to the general public, but places are limited. Attendees will act as jury and vote for the best speeches. There will be prizes for the three best speeches.
 
The organizing centres IBB, INc and ICTA-UAB, grouped within the framework of the Observatory of Science Dissemination (ODC) of the UAB, organise this activity which is funded by the FECyT.
