RE-SEARCH as it states means ‘SEARCHING OVER AND OVER AGAIN’.

Well, then scientific creativity is required for innovation.

In that case, do you think you have the GIFTED MIND?

Now you can research on anything under the sun and if our panel of expert judges like it, you might just be walking away with the prize... Of course, originality does count as we are looking for people who are searching for something new although it is called Re-search. And as always,
