Show your research videos!

Research at the MIN faculty should become more visible! Or are you aware what curious, surprising or even aesthetic things are created in the neighboring labs? With this call we would like to "discover ourselves" and see what great videos, animations and other moving images are created at our faculty and at the same time draw attention to our exciting research.

As a prize, there will be 500 euros for the most beautiful research video per department. The videos, animations and other moving images will be published on Lecture2go, on the websites and on the social media channels of Universität Hamburg.

The deadline for entries is November 30, 2022 at 11:59 pm.

Any kind of videos, animations and other moving images are accepted up to a maximum length of 2 minutes.
Preferably, videos and animations should be in 16:9 format with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD) or 1280 x 720 pixels (HD) and saved in MPG4 (mp4) file format.
If available or necessary, the audio track should be recorded in German or English. Videos in other languages are of course welcome. For accessibility reasons, all videos and animations that use an audio track with speech will be subtitled for release.
For each file submitted, participants must own rights to the footage or animation, i.e. have created it themselves. The assurance of these rights is done via a confirmation in the upload area.
