The Final - The House Of Lords

The Final is the closing part of The Science Challenge. As was revealed at the Launch, this year's Final will be held at the (rather exclusive) House Of Lords. This unique opportunity - firstly to tour the Houses of Parliament, followed by a reception in the Attlee Room - will only be guaranteed to a select twenty-four entrants: the best three participants in each category, for both the Imperial and Schools competition (3x4x2=24).

The event will be attended by Our Judges, guests of Lord Winston, high-ranking Imperial College academics - including the Rector and Head of Natural Sciences Faculty, competitors and students of the College.

Prizes

This year's competition is kindly funded by Accenture Management Consultants and the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Imperial College London. The tour of CERN is offered by past-RCSU President & Science Challenge Chair Dr Jad Marrouche. The Board Games have been donated by our sponor Acabo.
