Since 2013, the GYSS has been bridging the gap between aspiring researchers and the foremost scientists and technologists of various fields. All attendees – whether on-site or online – will have the opportunity to engage and connect with distinguished speakers, which include recipients of the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Turing Award and Millennium Technology Prize.
The Summit offers a series of activities, including live plenary lectures, panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and networking platforms. Participants will also stand a chance to:
1. Be part of small group informal sessions with their pre-selected speaker(s);
2. Present their research on stage or through poster sessions; and
3. Visit institutes of higher learning and other prominent landmarks in Singapore.
