Scholarship
Please note the applications are closed for this year. If you still want to participate without the scholarship, we may still be able to help you, e.g. via providing an invitation letter. In that case, please reach out to us at fyziklani@fykos.org.
This year, for the Fyziklani competition and its accompanying program, we are offering a full scholarship to several teams that would not be able to participate otherwise.
This scholarship aims to make the program more accessible to a broader range of students. To educate, build a global network of highly-talented students interested in physics, and show the participants opportunities to make it easier to use their talent well.
The accepted teams will attend the entire accompanying program of Fyziklani as well as several closely related extension activities creating about a week-long memorable experience. We built upon a similar event from Fyziklani 2023 as well as the 2022 Fyziklani International Youth Exchange.
Accompanying Program Youth Exchange 2022Focus and Eligible Teams
All costs will be covered for selected teams, including travel from the participants’ countries to Prague and back, accommodation (most likely in the same hotel as for all other participants of Fyziklani), meals, tickets for the city public transport for the duration of the stay, and travel insurance.
The teams, in turn, must take part in the entire program (unless very serious circumstances prevent them).
After being selected, the teams will also participate in preparation and supporting the event in minor ways (examples from last years include creating a presentation about science in their country, preparing for a cultural evening and writing reports from the event).
The applications are for high-school (or equivalent) students only and should be made in a team of up to 5, where all the participants are at least 15 years old and from at most 2 different schools.
Any team satisfying the above criteria anywhere in the world can apply. Note, however, that while Fyziklani aims to be open to all high-school students all around the world, the resources for this scholarship are limited. Thus, it is aimed preferentially (not exclusively) at highly-talented students from economically less-advantaged backgrounds or from areas where the students have comparatively fewer opportunities than in Europe.
We also recommend to, before applying, register in the Physics Brawl Online, which is essentially an online version of Fyziklani. Firstly, it will give you an idea of how Fyziklani itself works, and secondly, it is relevant to the application.
Applications for the scholarship ended on November 30, 2023. The results have been announced to the applicants.

The scholarship is possible thanks to the kind sponsorship of FABRIC, a non-profit that organizes camps for highly talented students interested in understanding themselves and the world.
More About FABRICSchedule of Fyziklani and Its Accompanying Program
The schedule of the scholarship will be (up to minor details) essentially identical to the Fyziklani accompanying program. Any student that is not accepted for the scholarship is more than welcome to participate in any part of the program (they will just not get their expenses reimbursed).
Since Monday afternoon, participants with accommodation can come to the Hotel Duo.
Ceremonial opening of the accompanying program
