FameLab Australia 2026 National Final
Watch 13 of Australia’s brightest early-career researchers compete for the title of FameLab Australia 2026 Champion.
The challenge: No slides. No PowerPoint. No jargon. No boring.
Each finalist has three minutes to explain their research in clear, engaging language that anyone can understand. They will be judged on the three Cs of FameLab: Content, Clarity and Charisma.
Competitors may use only the props they carry onto the stage. They might sing, dance or take their presentation in an unexpected direction. Whatever their approach, they have three minutes to win over the judges and audience.
