Pau Alarcón Barberà, a student from IES Vila-roja in Almassora, won a silver medal at the National Biology Olympiad held from 3 to 6 April 2025 at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife. Placing fifth overall, he is one of four students selected to represent Spain at the 18th Ibero-American Biology Olympiad, which will take place in Armenia, Colombia, from 7 to 14 September. Alarcón was one of five students representing the Valencian Community at the national stage, having earned his spot by winning the local round at Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castelló among over a hundred participants. On the other hand, Mario Martínez Luna, a student from IES Jaume I in Burriana, won a bronze medal in the national stage of the Physics Olympiad, held from 11 to 14 April at the University of Valencia.

The Biology Olympiad, organized by the Spanish Biology Olympiad Association, aims to promote interest in biological sciences, recognize academic excellence and strengthen ties between secondary education and universities. As a local winner, Pau Alarcón is also eligible for the “Soy olímpico” programme, which offers academic rewards and the opportunity to join the “Study and research at the UJI” initiative if he enrolls in any undergraduate degree at the UJI next academic year.
