GC Speed Slam – Sum up Your Research!
180 seconds – this is the time given to doctoral researchers to present their research at the GC Speed Slam on May 26, 2025, at 18:30 in the "Kleine Aula" (Room A 120, LMU Main Building, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1).
The GraduateCenterLMU hosts this extra fast science slam, where doctoral candidates from all departments get to the heart of their research, while the seconds race by. This requires them to be extremely concise about their topic and research question. At the same time, they have to make it as catchy as possible to be able to reach out to an audience of non-experts in their field.
Your role as audience? Act as jury at the end of this racing competition and vote for the most convincing speed slam that evening. Be part of it and register now!
Call for Participation
The GraduateCenterLMU invites doctoral researchers from all LMU departments to sum up their research in an extra fast science slam on May 26, 2025. The GC Speed Slam challenges you to get to the heart of your doctoral research – and offers you the unique chance to reach out to an audience beyond your research community. Present your doctoral research in just 180 seconds and one single PowerPoint slide. Do not forget to make it as catchy as possible.
Should you be one of two lucky winners of the GC Speed Slam, you will be sent to participate in the EUGLOH 3-minute PhD Pitch at the University of Alcalá, Spain. Funds for travel and accommodation will be provided.
