Schweizer Jugend forscht (Swiss Youth in Science)
Switzerland's national youth research competition, run by the Schweizer Jugend forscht foundation, invites students aged 16 to under 23 at Swiss or Liechtenstein schools to submit independent research projects in natural sciences, technology, humanities, social sciences or art, individually or in groups of up to three. The 2027 cycle has a semifinal on January 16, 2027 at HSLU Emmenbruecke and a final on April 1-3, 2027 at the University of Lucerne. Every finalist receives CHF 750 (bronze), CHF 1,000 (silver) or CHF 1,500 (gold), and top projects can win trips to international science fairs, science camps and internships.
