International Students Science Fair (ISSF)

The International Students Science Fair (ISSF) is an annual event co-ordinated by a global collective of specialist science secondary schools who have agreed to collaborate for the benefit of their own students, as well as promoting the importance of science and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in their own countries and internationally. The schools recognise that high quality education and innovation in STEM hold an important key to the successful and sustainable future of our countries and our planet, and that international collaboration will provide a platform which will enable all of our students to work towards this goal.

The ISSF has run successfully since 2005, and is the major event of its type in the world. It brings together students, teachers, schools and university leaders to share and develop their ideas about science in the modern world. Students and teachers from around 40 high-performing science schools attend, by invitation, a five-day learning programme organised by an elected host school. The schools who have collaborated since 2005 to provide this outstanding opportunity for their schools and students now wish to join in support of excellence in science education on a global scale.
