Soapbox Science 2025 - Speakers wanted

Dear Women* Scientists,

Have you ever thought about creatively wrapping your research work into just a few minutes to bring your science to the public in an accessible, fun, and non-intimidating way? 

Then you are just the right person for this year’s Soapbox Science event in Munich 2025, and we are very excited to invite you to be a speaker!

Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women* scientists and the science they do. Soapbox Science aims to inspire people to become science enthusiasts and to solidify the image of women* as scientists. 

The Soapbox Arena will be at Rindermarkt on Saturday, 5th July, from 14:00 – 17:00.

Soapbox Science speakers will be on stage for one hour. The talks can be in German or English, you decide. There is no PowerPoint (but props are welcomed), just you and the audience! If it sounds scary, don’t worry! We will provide you with a speaker's pack and help develop your talk with a public speaking workshop. You can also look at last year's speakers and their talks at our online event on our Youtube channel and our webpage.

To learn more about Soapbox Science, visit our Twitter/X, Instagram, or LinkedIn page. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I hope you will consider this opportunity and apply to be a speaker here. The application deadline is 2nd March. 

P.S. Feel free to spread the word around to any women* scientists.

Kind Regards,
Sophie & The Soapbox Science Munich Team
