The qualifying round of the International Tournament in Natural Sciences will be held online on November 14-16, 2025. The tournament is an interdisciplinary team competition in solving applied scientific problems in chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering sciences. Contestants will be able to connect with representatives of partner companies (major innovative centers and businesses) and research institutes in real time. 

This is an excellent chance for students to improve their argumentation skills, present their own solutions, boost their critical thinking and quick decision-making, as well as complete their internships at the contest’s partner organizations.
