Registration for the 2nd PH Nuclear Science Olympiad is now open!
The Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) is calling Filipino secondary students aged 15–20 from private and public schools across the country to register for the 2nd Philippine Nuclear Science Olympiad (PNSO), to be held this April 03, 2025.
This nationwide competition aims to identify and train the next generation of Filipino nuclear scientists and provide them with an opportunity to represent the Philippines at the 2nd International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO) in Malaysia this July 2025.
Building on the remarkable success of the Philippine team at the 1st INSO, where the Philippines secured 2 gold and 1 silver medals, along with a "Nuclear Ambassador" title and top scorer award, the 2nd PNSO seeks to further cultivate excellence in nuclear science education within the country.
Registration is open until 07 March 2025. Each school may nominate one (1) team only, composed of one official coach and a maximum of three (3) students. Schools are encouraged to rank students to facilitate shortlisting, if necessary.
The 2nd PNSO committee will evaluate the nominees according to established criteria and compile a list of official participants. The official list of participating students for the on-site exams, final testing sites, and the special prizes of the top 20 students will be announced on March 14. Participants and coaches will also be notified through email.
Organizing committee chair Ms. Kristine Marie Romallosa-Dean highlights the 2nd PNSO as a testament to the Philippines’ commitment to nurturing young minds in the field of nuclear science and technology. Top winners will receive medals, certificates, special prizes, and exclusive training with PNRI scientists and experts to prepare for the INSO 2025. Eligible students are encouraged to apply for this chance to represent the Philippines internationally.
