Applications open for Soapbox Science Gothenburg 2025!
Are you a female or non-binary scientist who is looking for an opportunity for outreach and to spread your research to the people of Gothenburg? Soapbox Science is back at Vetenskapsfestivalen in April 4-6th 2025.
Soapbox science is a unique event which showcases female and non-binary scientists and allows you to interact directly with the audience, with no powerpoints or lecture halls. It’s just you and a small group of people, talking about your science, asking questions and learning new things.
As a speaker, you give a brief presentation in your area of expertise, standing on a soapbox next to a table. You can prepare props and signs to help get the message across. In previous years we have had audiences ranging from families with small children right up to pensioners. It’s a really fun event to be a part of, particularly getting to know the other participants and learning about their science in creative ways.
We are also looking for assistants to help on the days as well. Please also register your interest in the google form below.
