London International Youth Science Forum
The London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) is a two-week residential student event held at Imperial College London & The Royal Geographical Society, with lecture demonstrations from leading scientists, visits to world-class laboratories and universities combined with cultural interaction, with 500 students aged 16-21 years old from 70 countries.
Students can apply directly to LIYSF and pay the cost themselves, however, if you are a student enrolled in a science program at UFV, who is academically outstanding and also has great leadership and communication skills why not apply through us and we'll cover the cost! The Faculty of Science sends at least one science student to LIYSF each summer all expenses paid to represent UFV. Find out how you can qualify >
