Anton Achhammer, research associate at the Research Centre for Energy Networks and Energy Storage (FENES) at OTH Regensburg, presented his research on the stage of the sold-out Schauspielhaus in Cologne during the preliminary round. In front of an audience of 450 enthusiastic spectators, he presented a forward-looking topic at the Science Slam: socially and climate-friendly hydrogen imports from African countries, supported by the methods of energy system modelling.
In just ten minutes, he managed to convey his scientific topic in a way that was not only understandable but also entertaining - it is precisely this approach that makes a science slam so appealing. Anton Achhammer began performing at these events because he has always enjoyed presenting scientific content in a humorous way, for example through memes. He made his first appearance at a science slam in Regensburg, which was brought to his attention by a colleague as part of the Sustainability Week - and which he won straight away!
