<p style="text-align: center;"> <strong>Sports and science - are incompatible? <span>Participants in the world's first Science Slam Football do not agree with this.</span> <span>How the psychology of fans works, how many unsuccessful strokes Messi has and how robots play football, will help to learn the German-Russian forum in St. Petersburg</span>. </strong></p><p>  <span>Searchlights</span> <span>neon beams with green hares scatter on the white field of epic walls, blind your eyes and immediately turn a look at the athletes, fans, reputable blue suits and the most popular, perhaps, sport - football. <span>The atmosphere is impregnated with intelligence, active moving, Russian-German friendship and hops - the best in the <span>football</span> culture can be found here.</span>  <span>From the columns comes a motive from "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" - the famous <span>"Kill Bill"</span> soundtrack - and foretells something pretentious, vigorous, exceptionally atmospheric and fascinating.</span></span>  </p><p>  <span>The same was at the first in the world Science Slam Football, held May 5 in St. Petersburg in the mansion of the once existing society of German artisans</span>. <span>Three Russian and three German young scientists met on that evening in an equal fight and proved to everyone that the tandem of science and football is not only possible but also useful <span id="result_box" lang="en"><span>in such industries as sport, creativity and finance</span></span></span>.</p><p>  <span>Within 10 minutes each of the Slam participants told the discerning viewer about their scientific or professional interests, following the <span>chip</span>-rules of any slam: the <span>presentation</span> availability, the fascination and topicality of the information being presented</span>. <span>Inna Zaitseva, Junior Researcher at the Higher School of Economics, told how the national culture influences on the national teams <span>performance</span>, based on the example of the Netherlands team, who didn't qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
