FAST - Federazione delle Associazioni Scientifiche e Tecniche
I giovani e le scienze is Italy's national young scientists contest, run by FAST since 1989 on behalf of the European Commission as the Italian selection for the EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS). The 2027 edition announces finalists in February 2027 ahead of an exhibition and awards ceremony in March 2027, and FAST selects top students to represent Italy at international events.
