THE PRIZES
The winner of the Grand Final will travel to the UK for the Cheltenham Science Festival in June 2008, where he/she will compete in FameLab International together with the other eight South East Europe winners.

The winner will also have the opportunity to take part in a series of networking events with other young science communicators in Europe.

But there'll be new opportunities for all the finalists – they'll all have the chance to take part in interactive workshops and a series of scientifique debates through a very lively and active science communication network that has been created.

FameLab is taking place in nine countries in South East Europe.
