Welcome to MRC Festival Zone!

An online event where school students connect with medical researchers and technical staff. It’s a competition, where the students are the judges.

Students challenge the researchers and technical staff over fast-paced online text-based live CHATs. They ASK anything they want, and VOTE for their favourite competitor to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public.
