SYNT Workshop
A full-day SYNT preparation workshop will take place on the 28th of February at the University of Zurich, Campus Irchel. The workshop is intended for students who want an in-depth introduction to the Swiss Young Naturalists’ Tournament, its format and how to prepare. Lunch is included.
Participants will develop a research plan for an SYNT problem and receive a clear overview of the tournament structure, including presentations and discussions. The day will conclude with a Science Fight demonstration to show the format in practice. Students who are not yet signed up for the SYNT are also welcome to attend in order to decide whether they would like to participate.
We thank Prof. Dr. Owen Petchey for the opportunity to hold this workshop at the University of Zurich.
We’re happy to share that Zurich International School (ZIS) in Adliswil, Zurich will once again be hosting the SYNT this year. It’s always a great opportunity to connect, collaborate, and explore new ideas together — and we’re looking forward to another engaging and inspiring event. The registration is now open and will be open until one month before the event, which will take place on the 21st of March. More details will follow soon!
The 2024 SYNT was a fascinating tournament to watch, as many of the fights came down to the wire. As there were four teams and three rounds, the SYNT happened in a perfect round robin format, with all teams being able to face each other.
