Boston Scientific Award

“Boston Scientific is delighted to have come on board as project partner with SciFest this year.

SciFest was a natural fit for Boston Scientific to partner with in this respect. The promotion of STEM subjects, at second level in particular, is of vital importance. Our aim is to inspire students to develop a passion for these subjects, thereby ensuring we have a continuous uptake of the science and engineering disciplines at third level. As a result, we are helping to mould the scientists and engineers of the future. SciFest is an excellent opportunity for students to research, explore and develop their own ideas. We wish all the students the very best of luck in their endeavours and we look forward to a fruitful and exciting partnership with SciFest.”
