Plans for the 66th London International Youth Science Forum are well underway and a number of high profile speakers have been secured including 2021 Chemistry Nobel Prize winner Sir David Macmillan. The Forum will take place between 24th July and 7th August 2025.
We have distributed our new flyer to multiple African partners to expand the reach of our scholarship programme and are running an online information session early in 2025 to launch our recruitment activities for student selection for our scholarships.
As ever we are motivated in our endeavours by the students we support and the impact our scholarships have on their lives. Here are testimonials from some of our 2024 scholar students:
I learned so much, both in and out of my career and interest. Apart from computer science, I developed interest in crime science l am looking forward to combine the two in the future in my profession. I also gained life skills, how to interact with people. Monica, Kenya
The knowledge I gained and the connections I made will be enduring sources of inspiration as I pursue a future in science.Representing my country on this global stage reminded me that Mauritius, despite its small size, is an integral part of the global scientific community. This moment encouraged me to embrace the role of a representative, not just for myself but for my country, and to carry forward what I learned back home. Abhinn, Mauritius
Thank you YoSA, for not only believing that African students deserve to be part of the scientific endevour, and making everything possible. But also for assuring me that science is where I belong, where I will always be. Muthoni, Kenya
LIYSF taught me to take charge of my learning and my future. It deepened my pride in my country and strengthened my resolve to help address the challenges we face as a nation. Ammar, Tanzania
