Today marked the exciting commencement of the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, where 40 talented students from the Saudi national team for science and engineering are participating. These young innovators represent some of the brightest minds in the Kingdom, bringing with them a wealth of creativity and intellectual prowess.
The Saudi students are showcasing their work through an impressive 40 innovative projects that span a variety of promising scientific fields. They are competing against over 1,700 peers from 70 different countries, illustrating the global nature of this prestigious event, which is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world.
Prior to the official opening of the fair, the Saudi students diligently arranged their research projects on designated display stands. Each project underwent scrutiny by an ethics committee to verify its originality and ensure it met the requirements for formal participation in the competition. This meticulous process underscores the importance of integrity and innovation in scientific research.
The Saudi team concluded their intensive preparations and training yesterday at their accommodation in Columbus, gearing up for this remarkable scientific gathering. ISEF is especially significant for pre-college students, providing a platform for them to exhibit their groundbreaking research and engineering solutions.
The Kingdom has been a consistent participant in this prestigious event since 2007, represented by the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) and the Ministry of Education. Over the years, Saudi Arabia has achieved remarkable success at ISEF, garnering a total of 160 awards, which include 110 prestigious grand awards and 50 special awards.
This year, the ISEF continues to solidify its reputation as the foremost global platform for student research and innovation. The projects presented here are evaluated by a distinguished panel of international scientists and experts, providing participants with a unique opportunity to showcase their scientific abilities in front of a global audience of specialists.
The competition not only fosters innovation and scientific inquiry among students but also encourages collaboration and cultural exchange among participants from around the globe. It acts as a catalyst for young researchers to explore their passions, pushing the boundaries of their intellectual and creative capacities.
Overall, the involvement of the Saudi students in ISEF 2025 highlights the Kingdom’s commitment to nurturing gifted youth and investing in the future of science and engineering. Their participation in this global event exemplifies the importance of academic excellence and the pursuit of knowledge, as well as the value of international engagement in research and innovation.
As the fair unfolds, all eyes will be on these young scientists, whose hard work and dedication reflect not only their individual dreams but also the aspirations of a nation eager to play a significant role in the global scientific community.
