Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre has always taken the lead in innovation and originality in all its endeavors. We would like to inculcate in the students the same spirit of innovation in the field of science. For this the Shaukat Khanum Science Fair 2009, EUREKA was organized. The Fair provided opportunities to young scientists from all over Pakistan to share ideas and showcase their innovative science projects and compete for the prestigious ‘Junior Scientist of the Year Award’ and many other distinctions

As a part of Round I, we invited Project Proposals from schools all over Pakistan. These Project Proposals were reviewed by our Jury and 54 projects from 9 categories were selected for display in the Final Round at the Shaukat Khanum Science Fair.
