Can we utilize new technologies in healthcare and medical treatments? Can we enhance our existing drugs with new knowledge? Is a cure for cancer just around the corner? In the Science Arena, teams will try to solve tasks in field of smart medicine technologies.
In the Science Arena, students will solve project assignments in different branches of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology and Biophysics. The aim is to solve an exercise in the most efficient, realistic and a budget-friendly way.
Project assignment
The project assignment consists of three related stages. The competition will be organized in three days each of which represents one competition stage. Teams will be given an assignment in the morning, deal with it during the day and present their solutions to supervisors in the afternoon. Team solutions are graded and ranked each day. The best teams will qualify for and compete in the finals in the fourth day of the competition when they will present their solutions to a panel of judges who will announce the winner of the Science Arena.
Who might compete in the Arena
Full time students studying in the field of Natural Sciences and the related subfields of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology and Biophysics (recommended but not limited to) can compete in the Science Arena.
