We encourage curious young people, awaken their scientific talent and creativity, and we prove: Science is exciting.

10 Science Olympiads organise workshops, camps, exams and competitions for over 7,000 talented young students in biology, chemistry, geography, informatics, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, physics, robotics and economics.

We create encounters between young people and scientists. Together, they think, work - and laugh.

How to support us

The organizers of the ten Science Olympiads are around 400 volunteer researchers, students and teachers. Depending on the subject, they come up with tricky examination tasks, evaluate essays, lead laboratory practicals, coach the participants 1:1 or teach at training camps. In this way, they provide talented high school students with insights into academic research and their favorite subject beyond the classroom. 

You too can share your expertise with the next generation of Swiss scientists!

  • Do you teach at the University of Bern and want to inspire the next generation of top students? Contact us. The ten Science Olympiads are always on the lookout for subject-specific experts who are willing to support young talents beyond high school level and give them an insight into current research in their field.
  • Are you studying at university and would like to pass on your enthusiasm for your subject to today's high school students and become part of an exciting network? Find out how to get involved.

  • Is your institute interested in cooperating with one of the ten Science Olympiads (biology, chemistry, geography, computer science, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, physics, robotics and economics) to organize lectures, workshops or other offers for the curious olympians?  Get in touch.
