At the Heats, each candidate will be given a maximum of three minutes to present a scientific topic of their choice. Impress the judges with your knowledge of science, clarity and charisma and you could be selected to compete in the finals!
In these three minutes you should inspire and excite public imagination by giving an entertaining and original talk that is scientifically accurate. So make sure your subject matter is well chosen and clearly put across, that your facts are right, and that you let your passion for your subject shine through!

The Masterclass will be held on Jastrebac, 23-25 March 2012.
