The Exhibition of Young Researchers

Right now the finale of “The Exhibition of Young Researchers ” where students have the opportunity to showcase their high school work and compete for prizes and international scholarships with a total value of half a million swedish crowns. The Young Academy of Sweden has four members in the jury and the great pleasure of meeting students and seeing the amazing projects, for example, eelgrass meadows, measurement of silicon in cooling water, specific brain cells’ communication and evaluation of dietary guidelines for diabetes.
