Share your knowledge with talented youth and encourage the researchers of tomorrow!
The Swiss Science Olympiad inspires over 8000 talented teenagers from Switzerland and Liechtenstein with workshops, camps and challenges in biology, chemistry, geography, informatics, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, physics, robotics and economics.
It’s more than just a competition. It’s a platform where curious youth can learn beyond the school curriculum, connect with like-minded peers and researchers and get inspired for their futures.
All this is possible thanks to over 450 university students, young researchers and teachers who volunteer their time and expertise. You can be one of them! Get involved in the way that suits you, your availability and your passions.
