The Swiss Young Naturalists' Tournament (SYNT) is a Swiss competition held in English, where science enthusiasts aged 12 to 16 from anywhere in Switzerland can participate. In a preparatory phase they carry out a small research project, whose results are presented and defended at the actual tournament.
The SYNT 2025 at the Zurich International School in Adliswil was an amazing event, with twice as many participants as last year! All teams did very well, with the jurors handing out grades left and right. We hope to see everyone at the SYNT 2026!
Below you can see the final ranking of the teams and here are some images of the event. Congratulations to Olivia and Marco for winning the SYNT 2025! As you can see the results were quite close, especially towards the top.
