During a science slam scientists present their research topic in an understandable and entertaining way within a given timeframe. In Magdeburg, scientific staff member Katrin Beer presented her dissertation project "Bioenergiepolitik in Deutschland" as one of four slammers that were all judged by a mixed audience in terms of comprehensibility, knowledge gain and entertainment value. Katrin Beer won the scientific competition in the overall ranking with her contribution "Kann Bioenergiepolitik die Welt retten?"
