The impact of Covid-19 is the dominant theme among entries for the 2021 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, with a quarter of all qualified projects delving into topics on health and the pandemic. Due to coronavirus, the exhibition will be staged virtually for the first time and will run from January 6th to 8th.
