The sixth annual Galilium conference took place on January 1, 2020, this year at the Kinneret Academic College. Forty two high school students from the Galilee presented 34 final science projects at six parallel sessions. The projects are considered five full "bagrut" topic matriculation points. Twelve third year "medical cadet" students presented their projects, to an impressed audience of participants and judges. Of six projects chosen as exemplary, three were of the cadets:

• Lior Cohen and Aviv Ben David, supervised by Dr. Vyacheslav Gurevich of the Faculty of Medicine
• Avtihael Hayb, supervised by Hatem Mahmood of the Galilee Research Institute

Of four honorable mention projects, two were of the cadets:

• Siran Saad, supervised by Dr. Baruh Polis
• Aviv Rafter, supervised by Dr. Dorit Avni of the Galilee Research Institute

Much thanks is extended to Dr. Shira Perez and Dr. Gal Levy Cohen of the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine for their active and dedicated involvement in this important community outreach initiative.
