I would like to take this opportunity as this website goes live to acknowledge the support and sponsorship I have received during the establishment of the IDEAL Society network. None of this would have been possible without the support of The University of Sydney and Harvard University.

BioTech Futures Challenge (Vic 2020, NSW 2021)

February 8, 2021
 
BIOTech Futures is an innovation and mentorship program that aims to empower Australia’s brightest young scientific minds. Our initiative connects high school students with world-class academics to think creatively about biologically inspired solutions to challenges in the fields of Health, Medicine, Energy, and the Environment. We put students at the frontiers of research where they can ask big questions, be inspired and challenge the status quo, and in doing so, we give them the necessary tools to become the game-changers of the future.
 
Students in Years 9-12 at any Australian high school will get the opportunity to come up with solutions to challenges in the field of Health & Medicine or Energy & Environment. These ideas will be presented at a two-day Symposium from 8-9 February 2021 at the University of Sydney, which provides a forum to both the Universities seeking solutions and the students who strive to solve them.

This year’s Challenge will link students with academics from the University of Sydney, as well as the ARC Training Centres for Innovative Bioengineering, Personalised Therapeutics Technologies, Medical Implant Technologies, Data Analytics for Resources & Environment and CubeSats, UAVs and Their Applications.

COVID-19 statement:
The Symposium has been moved from early December to early February 2021 due to the COVID-19 situation. If this situation persists, then virtual conferencing software may be considered as an alternative to an in-person alternative. Please expect an update by mid-October.
