Results of the 52nd National Jonk Fuerscher Contest!
Results of the 52nd edition of the National Jonk Fuerscher Contest:
On Friday 17 and Saturday 18 March 2023, 73 participants presented their 50 projects - covering a wide variety of fields such as biology, chemistry, or IT & engineering - to the members of the jury of the 52nd national Jonk Fuerscher contest at the Forum Campus Geesseknäppchen.
This year again, each team was designated a specific time slot to defend their project during a live streamed congress. In addition, the Fondation Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg (FJSL) specifically designed to allow the Luxembourg audience to discover what moves our next generation of scientists.
The young contestants, aged between 11 and 21, were awarded prestigious prizes in the presence of Madame la ministre des finances Yuriko Backes, Madame la Ministre de l'Environnement, du Climat et du Développement durable Joelle Welfring and European Commission representative in Luxembourg, Mrs. Anne Calteux; according to their age, their field of study, and the quality of their work.
The Fondation Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg is proud to award every single participants with a prize, leading them to various Science events across the globe and among the top competitors, the jury was pleased to award Petra Straga with this a full month of science programs of scientific research, learn more about the Weizmann Institute, and establish friendships with like-minded students from different countries at the University of Jerusalem thanks to our sponsor Fondation Matanel, for the excellency of her work and presentation. Her Study “ACID against anxiety" shed light on on how lysergic diethylamide acid can be used to treat anxiety disorders.
Two other projects from Maxime Buck (MarblesVR, a puzzle game developed using unity for VR masks) and Moritz Rohner (Analyse der Methode des Druckluftantriebs und ihre Anwendung auf Modellraketen) will lead the two young laureates to represent Luxembourg at REGENERON ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair) in the U.S. the largest science competition in the world. This prize is generously sponsored by Brunata Metrona.
