After a successful launch of Fame Lab in 2017, this year the British Council brings Fame Lab to Dhaka and for the first time to Sylhet and Chittagong. The registration is now open and it will continue on January 25, 2019. 
British Council organised a launching ceremony for the Fame Lab 2018-19 on 20 December 2019 at the British Council auditorium. Prof Abdul Mannan, Chairman, University Grants Commission of Bangladesh, was present as the chief guest at the event.
Prof Abdul Mannan appreciated the opportunity provided to the youth through Fame Lab and encouraged them to represent Bangladesh in the international competition. "Fame Lab is making science fun and I am happy to see it trying to engage the young generation of the country with the concepts of science" he said.
Each contestant in the Fame Lab competition will deliver a three-minute presentation on their chosen topic. Every presentation will be judged according to the golden rule of the 3 Cs: content, clarity and charisma. After the initial round of auditions in the three cities beginning in February 2019, selected participants will travel to Dhaka to participate in Masterclass conducted by a renowned scientist from the UK. Here the finalists will have the opportunity to develop an in-depth idea of how to generate and materialise unique scientific ideas and to present those in creative ways on-stage within three minutes. The final National Gala round will be held in Dhaka on March 22, 2019, where one Fame Labber will be selected to represent Bangladesh at the International Cheltenham Science Festival in London, UK.
