Guide for constructing a scientific project

Please carefully read the Rules of the Arctic Competition.

The scientific project is a project proposal, where you formulate a proposal for a project that you are able to research in the field at an arctic station.

• What are you curious about in the Arctic? Formulate a specific question, that you are able to research
• Make a hypothesis (What do you think the answer could be)
• Design a plan for testing your hypothesis! In this plan you describe what tests to perform and what information to collect. The plan has to describe how you intend to analyze the results in order to prove or reject the hypothesis. The plan also must describe how you will present the results.

Guide for constructing an innovation project
