An event that has been unmissable at HPLC conferences since its introduction in 2019 is the Separation Science Slam, which this year is once again generously sponsored by KNAUER (resp. € 1,250; € 7,50 and € 500 for the nrs. 1, 2 and 3). New this year is that the winner be selected by through an electronic audience poll, and that the competition is open to groups and all age categories.
Who will be the first professor daring to take on the challenge?
The Separation Science Slam
- The Separation Science Slam is a science competition –not a scientific presentation. It is about bringing your own research closer to the HPLC 2025 audience in an entertaining but understandable way.
- You are on stage and have 3 minutes to impress the HPLC 2025 attendees with free speech, animated PowerPoint presentations, illustrative images, a poem, a rap, a cabaret, …your creativity!
- Awards: Gold = 1250 €, Silver = 750 €, Bronze = 500 €
Criteria for evaluation
- Best performance will be selected via electronic audience poll, insisting contributions would be judged, in addition to the scientific content, the entertainment value, comprehensibility, creativity and technical skills.
- Contributions with discriminative, insulting, or offensive language will be excluded.
Who can participate?
- Scientists (academic or industrial) of any age involved in research projects related to the liquid chromatography workflow (before, during or after).
- Submissions from individuals or groups are welcome.
- The presentation must be based on the presenter’s own findings or work.
- Based on the submitted proposal, the best contributions will be selected for the final round
