Introduction to ASOB Biology Competition

The Asian Science Olympiad on Biology (ASOB) is a high-level biology competition for secondary school students in Asia and surrounding regions. It aims to build an international exchange platform in the field of life sciences, inspire young people's enthusiasm for exploring biology, and discover and cultivate outstanding talents with innovative thinking and research potential. As one of the most important competitions in Asian biology education, ASOB is not only a touchstone for testing students' biological knowledge, but also an important bridge connecting educational philosophies from different countries and promoting the development of the discipline.
