Are you researching Eurovision—and ready to share your ideas with the world in a fresh, engaging way?
The Eurovisions Science Slam 2026 invites scholars at all stages, especially early-career researchers, to join a dynamic format where academic insight meets creativity, storytelling, and public visibility. The Science Slam is your chance to show how your work contributes to understanding Eurovision’s public value: its role in culture, media, identity, fairness, participation, and community building. We are looking for voices that communicate research clearly, boldly, and accessibly.
Please submit
Short bio (max. 100 words)
1–2 photos
Abstract of your talk (max. 300 words)
After your proposal has been accepted: A 10-minute video introducing yourself, your research, and your personal ESC story
Your video will be featured on our website, YouTube, and social channels—helping you reach a broad international audience. Public voting begins as soon as the videos go live.
What happens on stage
During the conference, you will:
Give a 2-minute recap pitch of your research
Join a 5-minute conversation with an established ESC scholar
Take part in a lively Q&A with our audience, both on-site and online
No slides, no formal presentation - just you, your ideas, and a room full of people excited to hear how your research connects to Eurovision and public value.
Why Participate?
Gain international visibility as an emerging voice in Eurovision studies
Practice public-facing science communication in a supportive environment
Engage with a community deeply invested in culture, media, and music research
Compete for the Eurovisions Special Prize for Outstanding Science Communication
Have fun, be creative, and inspire others
How to Apply
Send your materials by 31 March 2026 to wolther@phonos.de. And if you know any other early career researchers and even students focusing on the Eurovision Song Contest, do not hesitate to spread the word.
We are looking forward to your contributions.
