Thanks to its history and symbolism, the Frauenkirche Dresden is the perfect place to discuss the connections between science and technology and war and peace. Also because the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche would not have been possible without scientific research in numerous disciplines.

Today, the Frauenkirche is a world-famous meeting place and a symbol of peace. In the midst of Dresden as a center of science, the synergies between
science and peace work should be emphasized and made better known. That is why the Frauenkirche Foundation, the Dresden Technical Collections and the Institute of the United Nations University UNU FLORES are jointly inviting you to the third SCIENCE4PEACE-SLAM.

As a slammer, you have exactly ten minutes to ask the audience your questions,
insights and discoveries. It pays to be creative, entertaining and humorous, because the audience decides who wins in the end!

Convince the audience of your way of presenting complex scientific contexts.
in your presentation. In addition to eternal fame, great prizes and an unforgettable evening under the dome of the Frauenkirche await all participants and especially the winner.
