AuScience is an informal association dedicated to running science competitions with a international focus. Individual schools host the competitions and any costs are paid directly to those providing services. It does not collect money.

The purpose of organising tournaments like the IYPT Australia Challenge, JYPT and IJSO is to give Australian students the change to develop scientific thinking, research skills, communication skills and teamwork. and to measure themselves against their peers from around the world in international competition.

Another purpose of AuScience is to stimulate interest in engineering and science careers. The nature of our tournamets promote scientific research and problem solving, stretching the participants to work on very complex problems. Successful students will hopefully see future studies in science and engineering as an attractive option.
