We are Slovakia’s first national neuroscience competition, proudly hosted under the International Brain Bee (IBB). For the first time, the whole country will witness young minds pushing the boundaries of brain science. Our program brings together the brightest, most passionate students to explore the brain, compete at the highest level, and engage directly with leading scientists. We inspire curiosity, cultivate talent, and build the next generation of neuroscience leaders who will shape the future of discovery.
Our Mission
This competition brings together ambitious young minds in neuroscience, offering a high-level environment that fuels curiosity and shapes the future of scientific innovation and leadership.
About the International Brain Bee (IBB)
The International Brain Bee (IBB) is the world’s leading neuroscience competition for young students, founded in 1999 by Dr. Norbert Myslinski.
The International Brain Bee partners with leading scientific and educational organizations such as FENS, the Society for Neuroscience [SfN], IBRO, the Dana Foundation, and many more. It brings together the brightest minds from over 50 countries to test their knowledge, challenge their curiosity, and inspire the next generation of scientific leaders who will shape the future of neuroscience worldwide.
Each year, National Brain Bees all over the world send one representative to compete in the IBB World Championship. The winner of the international championship not only earns the title of World Champion but also receives a cash prize of $3,000 USD. For more information, visit the International Brain Bee website.
