Scientists and researchers in Luxembourg are invited to participate in this popular science writing competition. By submitting an article about science and research in Luxembourg they can show that research is everywhere and it is for everyone!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science writing competition is an opportunity for (almost) anyone working in science, research and innovation in Luxembourg to try out their science communication skills. Especially scientists and researchers are invited to practice their ability to communicate science by writing an article about research in Luxembourg that is understandable to anyone. The competition is also open to students in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texts can be submitted via this online form<\/a> in English, French, German or Luxembourgish until 31 July 2024<\/strong>. The three winning articles will be published on science.lu. Thus, the text should follow a certain format and style (see FAQ and guidelines in the Terms & Conditions<\/a>). You can also read the winning articles<\/a> from the first edition of the Science Writing Competition there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before submission, you can also exchange and discuss your text with your peers as well as the organizer during a feedback session<\/strong>. It will take place on Campus Belval on 19 July 2024 from 13.00 to 15.00 at Maison du Savoir (MSA) 2.390<\/strong>. Everyone is invited to come and bring their text for peer-review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
