The Ministry of Education and Training has reorganized the competition fields by publishing the National Science and Technology Research Competition Regulations for Middle and High School Students, aligning the evaluation mechanism with international standards.
Arrangements Made in Competition Categories
The newly published circular replaces previous regulations, streamlining and standardizing the list of competition fields into 16 different categories.
Process of Alignment with International Standards
The evaluation criteria and scoring scale have been completely redesigned to align with the structure of the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.
Verification of Independent Participation
Research records and original data are meticulously utilized to verify the level of independent participation in students' projects.
Lottery-Based Jury Appointment System
Within the scope of the evaluation mechanism, each project will have at least 3 independent judges, and the appointment of jury members will be carried out through a drawing of lots.
Rules of Transparency and Scientific Integrity
Alongside regulations focusing on the principles of transparency, openness, and scientific integrity, disclosing information regarding projects to the public and keeping an electronic or written research log have been made mandatory.
Penalties to Be Applied in Case of Falsification
The results achieved by students who falsify documents or original data will be considered completely null and void, and participation bans from the competition will be imposed on these individuals.
