Do you want to stimulate young people's interest in higher education, research and innovation? Show how research is done and develop your communication skills? On 26 September, the Science Festival Forskarfredag (European Researchers' Night) and the Researchers' Grand Prix competition will take place.

What is new this year, is that registration for Researchers’ Grand Prix and for the exhibition/science fair (part of the event Forskarfredag), is done directly with the organizer Vetenskapens hus.

Become a star in science communication - compete in Researchers' Grand Prix

Researchers' Grand prix (Forskargrandprix) is Sweden's largest competition in presentation techniques for researchers. The researcher who is best at presenting their research in the simplest, most inspiring, and educational way possible, within four minutes, wins the competition. By participating, you also get the opportunity to be coached by rhetoric experts.
