Contestants can submit entries at the Youth Scientific and Technological Promotion Centre at 1 Phạm Ngọc Thạch Street in District 1, or via email khoahoctre@gmail.com and website www.khoahoctre.com.vn by September 30.

The awards will be given in 12 fields, including pharmaceutical chemistry technology, biotechnology and biomedical technology, intelligent technology, food technology, education, economy, engineering, agriculture, forestry and fishery, laws, planning, architecture and construction, natural resources and environment, and social affairs and humanities.

The award-winning projects will be announced in November at the HCM City University of Technology and Education.

The Eureka Scientific Research Students Awards competition has been organised since 1999 by the HCM City branch of the Communist Youth Union to encourage scientific research among students.

To celebrate 20 years of the awards, the organisers plan to host a Eureka Scientific Research Student camp in October in HCM City.

The camp is expected to award winners in previous years, along with outstanding students at schools nationwide. — VNS
