Each year, participants from the NYSF Year 12 Program have the opportunity to attend the London International Youth Science Forum. This program allows participants to explore STEM engagement in an international setting further.
The 2025 LIYSF Program runs from 23 July to 6 August 2025. The program hosts 500 students from 80 countries at Imperial College, London. Participants will hear from and meet world-leading and Nobel Prize-winning scientists and visit top UK university departments, including Oxford and Cambridge.
The Scholarship covers the LIYSF program fee, but does not include travel to the UK. Previous NYSF participants have approached Rotary Clubs and their community as well as launched online fundraisers to support their trip.
