Science SLAM Moldova is a contest where researchers and innovators explain their own research or projects for everyone’s sake. Each participant has 10 minutes to convince visitors that his / her presentation is the best and is worth voting, and at the end the audience chooses the winner.

The event is a platform for communication between people in science and innovation with the general public. They have the opportunity to share their own ideas in a relaxed atmosphere, and visitors get more knowledge from different fields.
