To enter FameLab you must be:

• At least 18 years old
• Working in or studying science, technology, engineering or maths
• Working or studying in Bulgaria

This includes private and public sector employees. The competition aims to provide new opportunities for engineers and scientists to develop their skills as communicators.

We welcome:

• Lecturers and researchers in science, mathematics or engineering subjects, including specialist science teachers with a science degree.
• Researchers who use existing research or meta-studies - they don't have to be getting their hands dirty
• People who work on applying science, technology or mathematics - for example, patent clerks, statisticians, computer technicians, consultants to industry...
• University students of science, mathematics or engineering (over 18)
• People who apply science, mathematics or engineering in the armed forces or government bodies
• People who apply science, engineering or mathematics in industry or business

Unfortunately we can't accept people who are:

• Press or PR officers, even for science-related organisations
• Artists who work on science-related themes
• Performers whose shows are about science or engineering
• Science centre staff who work exclusively or mainly with the public
• Journalists and broadcasters (as their main or only job)
• Non-specialist school teachers

UNLESS that activity is a temporary placement or short-term job, and they plan to return to practising or researching science or engineering in the near future.

Teachers

• Specialist teachers (science or maths) are welcome to enter, although please note that presentations should be aimed at a general adult audience.
