The registration will open here on May 15th!
Treat your students to world class international research
During the Nobel festivities, young, award-winning scientists are coming to Stockholm to exhibit their science projects to high school students. This event aims to inspire students as well as provide training in scientific literacy. This year we are proud to announce that we will be back at Filmstaden Sergel with live-presentations and possibility to meet the scientists in person.
The seminar
Visit the seminar with your students and view presentations, posters and meet the brilliant scientists live. SIYSS offers an interesting addition to the regular curriculum, particularly in science and English classes. On December 7th, young world-class researchers showcase their scientific projects at Filmstaden Sergel at Hötorget, Stockholm. They will present their research live on stage and display their projects, providing students with opportunities to discuss and talk to the young researchers about their projects.
This year we will also offer a seminar about how to navigate higher education and academia, showcasing possibilities for students’ next step pursuing a career in STEM.
Minds of the Future
By gathering some of the brightest young minds in the scientific community, SIYSS hope to inspire the young audience members by showcasing what it means to be a scientist. However, science is not just about doing research and presenting your findings. A major aspect of science is communication across disciplines in order to tackle greater issues in society at large. Minds of the Future will highlight this by providing a number of SIYSS participants representing different disciplines and countries with a stage upon which they can discuss possible future solutions on some of today’s global challenges. Last year, ”Minds of the Future” was visited by the Nobel laureate in chemistry, Omar Yaghi. Stay tuned to find out more about this year’s Minds of the Future!
