A Success Story

To understand the impact of the IBO, one needs only to hear from its participants. Giedrė Žulpaitė, Nephrology resident, physiology lecturer, and creator of NephroGo — an international app supporting chronic kidney disease care — describes her experience:

“Participating in the International Biology Olympiad in 2017 was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Winning a bronze medal was not just a recognition of years of dedication to biology, but also proof that passion and hard work can carry you to the global stage. Beyond the competition itself, the IBO gave me the chance to connect with brilliant peers from all over the world — people who have since become lifelong colleagues and friends. It broadened my perspective, inspired me to aim higher, and opened doors to opportunities I could not have imagined before. Looking back, the IBO was far more than a contest: it was a milestone that shaped both my personal and professional journey.”


Stories like Giedrė’s demonstrate the profound and lasting influence the IBO has on young people. With your partnership, we can continue to create such opportunities for the scientists and changemakers of tomorrow.
