How the Young Scientist winner is selected

STUDENTS have been making an exhibition of themselves for 50 years at the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.

But behind all the fun and frolics there is still a much-valued contest. Winners get to represent their country at the prestigious European Union Contest for Young Scientists, which will be held this year in Warsaw, Poland. (See Prof Tony Fagan panel on page 13.)

Winners may even get the opportunity to travel to the Intel International Science and Technology Fair in the United States.
