Regeneron ISEF gathers outstanding science students from around the globe to compete for millions in prizes at the world鈥檚 largest pre-college science and engineering competition

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., and WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 12, 2019) 鈥� 京东影业影视传媒 & the Public (Society) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that Regeneron is the new title sponsor of the the world鈥檚 largest pre-college science and engineering competition, with a commitment of approximately $24 million over a five-year period.

Established in 1950, ISEF gives the world鈥檚 best and brightest young scientists a global stage to share their outstanding STEM research, and compete for nearly $5 million in awards, prizes and scholarships. Each year, over 175,000 students compete in the Society鈥檚 more than 420 affiliated high school science fairs around the world. Top winners earn the right to compete at ISEF where nearly 2,000 finalists, half of which are young female scientists, are judged in 21 different categories including biochemistry, behavioral and social sciences, environmental engineering, mathematics, robotics and intelligent machines, systems software and translational medical science.

Regeneron鈥檚 commitment comes as the Society has created a new multitiered sponsorship model to support different judging categories, events and delegations of ISEF finalists. The Society is continuing to seek additional sponsors who are similarly committed to furthering the future of science and engineering, and will be announcing new sponsors in the coming weeks and months.

This sponsorship builds on Regeneron and the Society鈥檚 long-standing partnership to advance STEM education, including through Regeneron鈥檚 $100 million, ten-year commitment to the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), the nation鈥檚 most prestigious science competition for high school seniors.

鈥淩egeneron is committed to helping engage and inspire the next generation of scientific innovators, as we believe there is nothing more important for helping address the truly existential threats facing humankind 鈥� from disease to climate change.听We are thrilled to expand our collaboration with the 京东影业影视传媒 & the Public听to now take on title sponsorship of the International Science and Engineering Fair, adding to our previous commitment with the Regeneron Science Talent Search,鈥� said George D.

As a product of these programs myself, I know firsthand how they can change a young person鈥檚 life by providing the experiences and challenges, as well as the confidence, that one can make a change in the world through science.鈥�
