International competitions play an important role in the education of highly talented secondary school students opening new possibilities to extend their knowledge in sciences.
WHAT IS THE ICYS?
There are many types of competitions, the International Conference of Young Scientists (ICYS) is a special type of individual competition, in physics, mathematics, computer science, environmental sciences and life sciences for 14-18 year-old secondary school students. Every participant has to prepare a research report on a subject chosen by herself/himself from any part of the above mentioned sciences. The language of these ten-minute reports is English and an international jury evaluates and rewards the presentations.
This kind of competitions has importance in teaching the students:
- to do research work,
- to present and discuss their own results,
- to formulate research reports,
Perhaps most of the participating students will later become students at various universities and will be researchers reporting at scientific conferences (for instance like this one), this first appearance may be a decisive factor in their future
