VIDEO: Alltech Young Scientist Award 2009Welcome to the Alltech Young Scientist website!
The Alltech Young Scientist Award brings together the world’s brightest scientific thinkers from colleges and universities across the globe. Undergraduate and graduate students are asked to register and submit a scientific paper on a topic involving animal feed technologies, agricultural developments or agriculture management.
In 2010, the competition will begin with a Local Phase. Winners from each of those competitions will move forward and compete in the Regional Phase. The regional winners will then have the opportunity to compete in the Global Phase, which will take place in Lexington, Kentucky, USA at Alltech’s Annual International Animal Health and Nutrition Symposium in May 2010. Undergraduate and Graduate students will compete separately at each phase.
You can find more detailed information about the competition’s regulations and guidelines throughout our website. If you have any further questions please send them to youngscientist@alltech.com.
