Forty-two Young Scientists from 23 countries have been invited to Dalian. They will spend the three days of the meeting addressing issues such as resource scarcity, effective decision making, and the development of new materials for emerging technologies.
The Young Scientists proactively interact and engage with other Communities around topics including development, growth, sustainability and quality.
“Given that science, technology and innovation is pivotal to economic advancement and societal benefit, the voice of the Young Scientists Community contributes importantly to the success of the meeting” - say Howard Alper and Mohamed Hassan, IAP Co-Chairs, and representatives of the community.
Previously invited communities of Young Scientists have pursued their interaction well beyond the Annual Meeting of New Champions and left lasting legacies, including the statement paper “Passion for Science, Passion for a Better World”; the Young Scientist - Entrepreneur grants program; the founding of the Global Young Academy: the voice of Young Scientists around the world and last year, and the Young Scientist’s Ambassador’s program.
The community of Young Scientists represent innovative researchers under the age of 40 from around the world, nominated by national science academies, who have already demonstrated outstanding ability in their work.
