EUCYS 2025 provided a high-level scientific platform for young researchers representing a broad range of STEAM disciplines, including biology, engineering, medicine, chemistry, computing, environmental sciences, mathematics, materials science, physics and social sciences.
The scientific evaluation was undertaken by an international jury, chaired by Hans Langeveld, in accordance with the EUCYS 2025 Rules and the evaluation methodology outlined in the general EUCYS guidelines.
During the contest week in Riga, all projects were exhibited at Hanzas Perons, where jury members evaluated each participant’s presentation on site and performed the final assessment based on scientific quality, methodology, originality and presentation.
The scientific programme was complemented by educational activities, including the EIROforum lecture “Oocyte Epigenetics”, delivered by Marzia Munafò, Postdoctoral Fellow at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Rome, as well as a scientific visit to the University of Latvia.
From a technical perspective, project exhibitions and jury work were organised in full compliance with EUCYS guidelines. A special space was provided for jury evaluations, while participants’ exhibition hall was equipped with neccessary technical infrastructure. Information on participants and projects was made available at the EUCYS 2025 catalogue and the EUCYS2025 website, as well as different communication channels - radio, internet portals, social media.
