International Science and Engineering Fair

Every year, tens of millions of students participate in science fairs around the globe but only about 1,800 earn the right to compete for nearly $5 million awards bestowed each May at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). In 2021, the competition will take place virtually in order to keep our finalists, volunteers, judges and staff safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Any teacher can become a project manager. Usually a school teacher provides general guidance, an employee of the research institute (laboratory assistant, graduate student) is responsible for research, and a scientist (candidate or doctor of science) acts as a consultant. One adult can take on several functions.
Educational institutions
