AM I ELIGIBLE?

To enter FameLab Hong Kong you must be:

  • 19 – 35 years old as of 18 February 2013
  • Working in or studying science, technology, engineering, medicine or maths in Hong Kong
  • A Hong Kong ID card holder

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

We welcome:

  • Lecturers and researchers in science, engineering or mathematics subjects, including specialist science teachers with a science degree.
  • Researchers who use existing research or meta-studies
  • People who work on applying science, engineering technology or mathematics (e.g. patent clerks, statisticians, consultants to industry)
  • University students of science, mathematics or engineering (19 or over)
  • 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

However, 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 teachers (i.e. you have to be a pure science, technology, engineering or maths teacher to be eligible)

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, technology, engineering or maths) are welcome to enter, although please note that presentations should be aimed at a general adult audience.

If you are not sure whether you are eligible, email us or come to our information session.
