Fair play framework
These standards protect the fairness, safety, and credibility of every GYSO experience. Registration confirms that the student and guardian accept them.
Eligibility is determined by the selected field and competition category. Depending on the subject, entry may begin as early as Grade 4 and may extend through the undergraduate (bachelor’s degree) level. Applicants must select a category available for their current grade or academic level; the published subject-specific requirements and registration form govern.
All submitted details must be accurate and verifiable. The participant and legal guardian are responsible for any discrepancy in the application.
Receiving unauthorized help, using prohibited materials, sharing questions, or submitting answers on behalf of another student is strictly prohibited.
Every participant must treat peers, judges, mentors, and organizers with respect. Harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Results are based on validated responses and the official scoring process. The academic committee’s decision is final after the published appeal period.
Students retain ownership of their original work. GYSO may showcase shortlisted projects and participant images with appropriate credit and consent.
Scientific integrity matters more than any medal.
We celebrate achievement—but we value the honest path to it even more.
Official organizers of the Global Youth Science Olympiad.
