To participate in the quiz, each applicant must register and answer 20 questions in the subject area of their specialisation. The majority of the questions contained in the quiz are based on journal articles published by Pakistani researchers over the last few years.
The initial phase of the quiz runs from July 4 to October 31, 2013.
