International Science and Engineering Fair

A Regeneron ISEF-affiliated science fair is a research-based, high school competition that is a member of Society for Science & the Public’s affiliated fair network. These competitions exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than 75 countries, regions, and territories. To affiliate, science fairs agree to follow basic guidelines for fair operations and Society rules governing student research, but are ultimately responsible for their own management. Fairs are conducted at local, regional, state and national levels. Find a Society-affiliated fair in your area.

Students may present work that includes no more than 12 months of continuous research, and they may not include research performed more than 18 months before the Regeneron ISEF in which they will be competing. Local, regional and state affiliated fairs take place throughout the year, but all conclude by early April.

Students cannot represent themselves at Regeneron ISEF because this competition is a closed event.  Finalists who make it to Regeneron ISEF have gone through many levels of competition.  Students can generally start at a local school science fair and then progress on to the upper levels of competition, in which a Regeneron ISEF-affiliated fair may be the last tier. We also want to make sure that all students who compete at Regeneron ISEF have unique ideas and inventions and follow our guidelines for safe and appropriate research; both of these requirements are ensured through participation in affiliated fairs.
