November der "Erste RWTH Science Slam" statt. Hierbei treten die Kontrahentinnen und Kontrahenten mit ihren Forschungsthemen gegeneinander an. Wichtig und entscheidend ist, die Anwesenden durch spannende Inhalte und originelle Darbietungen für sich einzunehmen. Das Fachgebiet spielt dabei keine Rolle. Den Sieger des Science Slams kürt am Ende des Abends das Publikum. Selbstverständlich erwarten die drei Erstplatzierten interessante Preise. Gesucht werden Studierende, Doktorand/innen, Dozent/innen und Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter/innen, die ein aktuelles Forschungsthema vorstellen oder einen Einblick in ihre Fachrichtung geben wollen. Hierfür stehen am 12. November 2010 ab 21.00 Uhr in der Couven-Halle der RWTH Aachen fünf bis acht Minuten zur Verfügung. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, zu welchen Mitteln die Teilnehmer greifen: Vortrag, Bilder, Filme, Experimente...! Anmeldungen werden ab sofort bis zum 04.
