Innovation knows no boundaries

As Canada’s leading science initiative, the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Competition and Grant encourages students from coast-to-coast-to-coast and any background to break barriers and explore real-life science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research ideas that can change lives – all before leaving high school.

Biogenius Competition

While simple science activities tap into our desire to explore and experiment, the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Competition takes its up a few notches. And rightly so.

The Sanofi Biogenius Canada Competition encourages high school students from coast-to-coast-to-coast to be curious and explore real-life science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research ideas that have the potential change lives.
No ordinary science fair, it annually celebrates outstanding research projects submitted from across the country, from those in Grades 7 to 12, focusing on health sciences, life sciences and biotechnology. Hosted in partnership with Youth Science Canada, the competition is part of their regional and Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF).

Three winners are chosen in each of the three divisions: Junior (Grades 7 + 8), Intermediate (Grades 9 and 10) and Senior (Grades 11 + 12).

Biogenius Grant

Through the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Grant, we’re improving access to hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning by supporting Canadian public high schools with annual financial grants to spark STEM inquiry.  Whether it is updating lab equipment, launching new science programs or taking science education to the next level,  our $50,000 grant helps schools champion that spirit of discovery when it comes to STEM.
