What is IRCYS?

The International Research Competition for Young Scientists (IRCYS) is a global competition designed for students who want to present structured, evidence-based research.

Beyond project showcases, IRCYS emphasizes research design, scientific communication, mentorship, and measurable impact.

Why IRCYS exists

We bridge school-level curiosity with professional research practices so students can build stronger scientific thinking before entering university.

What participants gain

  • Structured feedback from judges and mentors
  • International exposure for original research work
  • Opportunities for scholarship and collaboration

7th Edition in 2026

Moving to its 7th Edition in 2026, IRCYS transforms into a mid-year grand summit, inviting young brilliant minds to gather in the Island of Gods, Bali, to present their discoveries.
