\r\n\t\t\t

The Science Castle Research Fund was established in 2016 to support research activities of middle and high school students. Among these awards, the Liverness Award is the only one that allows students to apply for any research topic without any field of study. In addition, a \"SDGs Special Award\" has been newly established for the 2019 RIVANES Award. Several of the themes selected for the RIVANES Prize will be selected as the SDGs Special Prize, providing strong support for junior and senior high school students who are taking on the challenges of the world.<\/p>\n

The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs) are 17 goals and 169 targets agreed upon by countries around the world to solve the world's problems and create a sustainable society.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t
