Participation Guidelines

Schools Eligible to Participate

Secondary schools across the Basque Autonomous Community, subject to the number of places available

Participants

Up to two teachers and up to five students from each participating school may register for each session.

Student Profile

Students who, during the 2026/2027 academic year, are enrolled in Year 11 (4º ESO) or either year of the Science Baccalaureate. The selection of participating students is at the discretion of the teacher responsible for registration, and students do not need to belong to the same year group or class.

Participation Requirements

Registration will open in September 2026. Schools must register through the DIPC online platform, which will be accessible via this website once the registration period opens.

When registering, schools may apply to attend one or both sessions. Successful applicants will receive confirmation of their place by email, together with instructions for completing the registration process. At that stage, schools will be asked to provide details of the participating teacher and students, as well as the questions they would like to ask the guest scientists.

Selection Criteria

Participating schools will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis until all available places have been allocated for each session

Schools may register for one or both sessions. However, due to the limited number of places available, each school may be represented by only one group of students at each session.

When allocating the final places, priority will be given to schools wishing to attend only one session, with the aim of ensuring that all schools requesting to participate have the opportunity to attend at least one of the two sessions.

Participation is free of charge.
