Regarding the selection process for the 10th edition of the Barcelona International Youth Science Challenge (BIYSC), we sadly inform you that your application has not been selected for any of the science projects you chose.
It has been a very hard decision since we have received so many brilliant applications for this edition.

CONGRATULATIONS!
We inform you that you have been selected to participate in the research project:

of the next edition of the Barcelona International Youth Science Challenge (BIYSC), which will take place in Barcelona from July 6th to 17th, 2026.
It has been a very difficult decision since we have received many brilliant applications. Well done, you are now an official BIYSCientist!
We also inform you that you are on hold for the following project(s):
[on-hold-projects]
Being on hold means that you are on a waiting list for that project, and in case any of the selected students finally resign, and thus a place is freed, we will let you know if the researchers in charge of the selection process decide to reconsider your application.
The next step is to formally confirm your participation in the BIYSC project for which you have been selected by paying the full registration fee (3400€) by March 26th or making a first deposit of 1360€, also by March 26th, and then a second payment of 2040€ before May 4th. Please access your BIYSC account at www.biysc.org/user, using the email account you used for the application and the password set. On your Final Project tab, click Payments to select your type of payment, and proceed with payment. Finally, follow the instructions displayed on the screen to securely issue the different payments via our virtual TPV.
Please note that candidates who fail to submit the payments within the official deadlines will not be considered final BIYSC participants, and their position will be freed for the next student on the waiting list.
Congratulations once again!
Please do not hesitate to contact us at contact@biysc.org if you encounter any problems during this payment process.
Kind regards,
