GYSPC

Global Youth Science & Policy Competition — research a real scientific question, then argue what society should do about it: STEM innovation that reaches beyond the lab.

How it builds the cultureWidens what STEM innovation means: a good idea also has to be argued for, because science shapes the society around it.

Full overview

The Global Youth Science & Policy Competition (GYSPC) is a global student competition co-hosted by STEMise and the Interscholastic Ethics Society. Entrants research a real scientific or technological issue, then propose a policy response to it — and both halves are judged: the rigor of the evidence and the judgment of the proposal.

Four tracks: AI & Digital Society, Bioethics & Health, Climate & Environmental Technology, and Future Society, with one winner per track. An online preliminary leads to an in-person final in February 2027. Registration opens October 2026 and closes December 2026.
