The Fast Forward Science competition, which is endowed with a total of €23,000, is a joint project of Wissenschaft im Dialog and the Stifterverband and has been held annually since 2013.

Passion for research, for innovative multimedia formats and for communication – the Fast Forward Science competition honors people who are not only passionate about science themselves, but who can also inspire others. Whether you are a student, postdoc, vlogger or communicator: We call you to produce social media posts about scientific topics and submit them to us.

Prizes will be awarded to contributions that present current research, are easy to understand, are tailored to the target a large audience, and offer the necessary “aha” effect. A special challenge is that the contributions are entertaining despite the hard facts and ideally manage to enter into a dialog with the viewers.

The deadline for submissions was February 7, 2023.
