Ultimately, the competition saw the Silava team, led by captain Oskars Krišāns alongside teammates Laura Ķēniņa and Kristaps Makovskis, emerge victorious. Their win not only highlights their knowledge and expertise but also underscores the engaging and educational nature of such scientific contests aimed at promoting research and inquiry among young scientists in Latvia.

This event not only serves as a platform for showcasing scientific talent but also fosters a spirit of competition and collaboration among emerging scholars in the field. The victory prize of 850 euros adds an incentive for teams to excel, while the diverse range of questions reflects the depth of knowledge being cultivated in the scientific community of Latvia.
