For this pilot edition, 25 teachers from six schools across Egypt, the United States, Kenya, and Azerbaijan submitted 24 research papers. Following an initial screening process, 22 papers were selected and evaluated by a panel of eight Egyptian and international experts.
To ensure fairness and scientific rigor, each research paper underwent a blind review by three independent evaluators. A final committee was then convened to determine the ranking among the three finalists.
The results were announced during the Oasis Research Institute Awards Ceremony, held on June 10, 2026, at Oasis International School.
