Science Fair Rules

Whether you are experienced scientists or simply students, you must follow strict safety standards and certain operating rules in your work.

Updated on an annual basis, the Science Fair Rules are primarily designed to ensure the safety of the public and the exhibitors, as well as make exhibitors aware of the importance of ethics in the field of scientific research.

To know more about ethics, read the academic integrity and the written presentation of the project sections of the Indispensable Guide. You will also find some excellent advice on how to avoid plagiarism.

Remember that failure to comply with the Science Fair rules can lead to the disqualification of the team. It is therefore essential to read the rules carefully!

Note
All exhibitors whose projects require the participation of human subjects, other than surveys and skill tests, must submit the experimental protocol to the respondent so that he/she can assess the risks associated with the project, whether these risks be high or low. To know more about this, read the Design or Study type of projects section of the Indispensable Guide.
