BT Ireland is encouraging Galway students to enter the 2024 Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) with just days remaining until the deadline.
There are over 200 prizes to be won and a prize fund of €50,000 for BTYSTE 2024, which includes the overall award worth €7,500.
Taking place from 10 to 13 January 2024, the winners of the BT Young Scientist & Technologist of the Year Award 2024 will go on to represent Ireland at the prestigious European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS).
The deadline for BTYSTE is Monday, 2 October 2023 at 5pm.
Ireland has a strong record of taking home the prize for first place at the EUCYS, with 17 wins over the past 34 years.
The prizes are awarded across the five categories of Technology, Social and Behavioural Science, Biological and Ecological Science, Chemical, Physical, and Mathematical Science, as well as in a brand-new category being introduced for the 60th BTYSTE, Health and Wellbeing.
The BTYSTE’s Health and Wellbeing category aims to promote research and innovation in areas related to human health, medical advancements, nutrition, exercise, and overall wellbeing.
Applications are open to students aged 12 to 19 years, and all they need to do to enter and follow in the footsteps of the many people in Ireland who have produced remarkable innovations in STEM, is fill out an online application form and submit a one-page proposal outlining their idea – it’s that simple!
Qualified entries will be announced at the end of October and will be showcased at BTYSTE 2024 in January.
