Competitions in the European Night of Scientists 2022 | SEARCH

As the regional organizer of the European Night of Scientists, RTIK is pleased to invite all students with creative thinking, interest in science and the environment to participate in the two national competitions organized within the framework of a project SEARCH (Science + Environment + Art = Sustainability for the European Night of Scientists).

The two contests have a deadline of 22.09.2022, and a jury of scientists will announce the winners and runners-up in each of the categories in the two contests. There will also be an audience vote. The winners will be awarded during a live TV studio dedicated to SEARCH - European Night of Scientists, which will take place on September 30, 2022 and will be broadcast from Sofia Tech Park.

The topics of the contests are:
