Aims

IrBO tried to challenge and stimulate gifted students to expand their talents and to promote their career as biologists. IrBO also is focusing on biology as a valuable subject. In offering a wider syllabus than Iranian National Biology Curriculum, it allows gifted students to demonstrate their theoretical knowledge and practical skills and to be suitably rewarded and publicly recognized by the award of medals and certificates. IrBO also takes advantage of the opportunity provided by IBO to promote the syllabuses and educational trends in biology in different countries.

History

IrBO was found in 1998, when Mohammad Karamudini, [3] a biology educationist participated in the 9th IBO [4] held in Kiel, Germany, as an observer from Iran. The first Iranian team participated in the 10th IBO held in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1999, in which Iranian students won 2 silver and 1 bronze medals.
