In 2020, in addition to theoretical and practical exams, International Group Project (IGP) has been added to IBO. The mission of IGP is to foster scientific curiosity and to identify young talents, who have a strong capability of creative work within an international team.
Within this framework, students work in 4-member groups from different countries on a chosen topic. In 2022, students will work online on one of 5 suggested topics and will prepare a poster presentation.
The teams will present their posters to the juries during the International Group Project poster session on July 15 and the best projects will be awarded.
