The competition will focus on designing projects around three directions: biodiversity exploration, rare and invasive species surveys, environmental pollution and ecological protection. Participants are required to complete a project proposal, conduct eDNA full-process testing (including field expeditions, experimental operations, and data analysis), and submit a formal research report followed by an on-site defense.

Submission Requirements
Preliminary Round

Proposal Report: The report should include the following sections:

  1. Research Background
  2. Research Objectives
  3. Research Content and Experimental Design
  4. Research Significance

Report format: Available in both Chinese and English.

Submission Instructions:
  1. Name the file in the format “Name + Phone Number.zip”.
  2. Submit the file to P_MICOS@cngb.org.
Intermediary Round

Teams are required to collaboratively complete the full-process eDNA testing, which includes: Field surveys, experimental operations and data analysis.The final output should be a scientific research report.

Report format: The submitted version of the report can be in Chinese or English; the CNGBdb display report must be provided in both Chinese and English versions.

Submission Instructions:
