Future Experiences in Agriculture, Science and Technology (FEAST) is a five day residential programme running from 1 - 5 July, at the University of Queensland designed to inspire and inform high school students of the range of exciting and rewarding science careers in the agriculture, animal, plant and food sectors.
This event is particularly suited to those students who are achieving well in the sciences and perhaps have a desire to study agricultural science or veterinary science in the future.
Why attend FEAST?
- test drive university and meet other students with similar interests
- explore science disciplines through hands on activities and workshops
- attend industry run sessions reinforcing the many exciting career outcomes on offer to graduates
- experience living in the Halls of Residence and take part in fun social and sporting activities
- chat with current university students and staff and have all your questions answered.
Students selected by Royal Society Te Apārangi for this opportunity will be supported, in general, for up to 70% of their international travel and registration costs by the Talented School Students Travel Award. To be considered, all students must complete the 2018 International Science Opportunities for Students Application Form [DOC 55.50 kb]

Additional Notes:
Although most of these opportunities are not teacher accompanied, these programmes are quite structured and fully supervised. However, if applicants and their parents/guardians feel uncomfortable with these conditions, we would strongly advise you not to apply. Furthermore, if more than one student is to be selected for a particular opportunity, then we strongly recommend that these students travel together.
Schools cannot nominate any more than four students in total, but those nominated students can apply for one or for as many opportunities they would like to by ticking the boxes on the application form.
