Young Scientist co-founder urges Mayo students to get BTYSTE entries in

With just days to go until entries close for the 2025 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, Mayo students are being urged to submit their applications as quickly as possible. The deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday next, September 27.

The BTYSTE 2025 will take place from January 8 to 11, showcasing incredible projects from students across the five categories: Technology, Social and Behavioural Sciences, Biological and Ecological Sciences, Chemical, Physical, Mathematical Sciences, and Health and Wellbeing.

With a total prize fund of €50,000, next year’s exhibition promises to be an exciting event for Ireland’s budding young scientists and technologists to showcase their talents.

The overall winner receives €7,500 and a place at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) in 2025 in Riga, Latvia.

Speaking on the 2025 exhibition, co-founder Dr. Tony Scott, said: “The BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition has nurtured an extraordinary level of STEM talent over the last six decades. Alumni of the exhibition have gone on to have a major impact on the world around them, including business, academia and research and development.

“Most importantly, the exhibition has provided students the means to develop a lifelong interest in STEM, taking this into third level education and later in life. Each year, the BTYSTE proves to be an exciting week for all involved, and we encourage students to apply before the September 27 deadline.”
