For the first time in its history, the Regeneron Science Talent Search took place virtually in order to keep finalists and their families safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. More than $1.8 million was awarded to the finalists, who were evaluated based on the scientific rigor of their projects, their exceptional problem-solving abilities and their potential to become scientific leaders.

The final two days of the Virtual Regeneron ISEF turned the focus to STEM education. Panels and discussions moderated by the Society team and featuring educators from our network provided timely, practical programming on science education, supporting underserved students and conducting research at home.

Society for Science honored the more than 1,300 finalists of the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2020 by coming together virtually to celebrate science. We’re thrilled to share these fascinating, informative and inspiring discussions featuring the top minds in science and business – many of them ISEF alumni – with the entire Society community.

Entrepreneurship was the focus of Day 3 of Virtual Regeneron ISEF 2020, with engaging panels featuring inspiring innovators and entrepreneurs who are also ISEF alumni. The day closed with a terrific panel on college admissions.
