About this event
DEMO brings together scholars, students, and curious minds to explore academic research through memes and humor. Expect witty visuals, clever references, and occasional deep dives into serious concepts in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Whether you're here to laugh, learn, or appreciate academia's absurdity, DEMO offers a unique space to connect, share, and rethink how research gets communicated.
