 LIYSF is a two week residential student event held annually, which attracts 500 of the world's leading young scientists aged 16 to 21 years old from more than 70 participating countries from all around the world. LIYSF is so important because it brings together young and passionate minds who care about science. There are a lot of different mindsets, there are a lot of different ideas you actually gain a lot. The privilege that we have to be here to go into world class labs and facilities and to hear from lecturers from all over the world. To connect with like-minded people is a phenomenon. I was really lucky to attend the forum as a student. I came here and heard for the first time about a topic of medical physics. What the forum gave me was my career. LIYSF attracts the highest caliber of international speakers including Nobel laureates, leading scientists, dignitaries and industry pioneers whom lecture throughout. Students participate in a wide and varied cultural program to learn about each other and share traditions. Our mission is to give young people from all nations a deeper insight into science for the benefit of all mankind. Whilst enabling our students to develop lasting international friendships. This is LIYSF. Join us in moving science forwards with the thinkers of the future.
