About
Each year, participants from the NYSF Year 12 Program have the opportunity to apply for places in International Programs. These programs offer participants the opportunity to further explore engagement in STEM in an international setting. If you wish to apply for International Programs normally facilitated by the NYSF you are now able to apply directly to the program.
London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF)
The London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) has been running for more than 50 years and attracts over 500 students from almost 75 countries for a two-week session. The NYSF is guaranteed places and is represented exclusively through the NYSF for Australian participants. Hosted by Imperial College in South Kensington, the students attend lectures by high-profile scientists and see some of the finest research labs in the UK. There are optional visits to Oxford and Cambridge and debates on controversial issues, not to mention the chance to join an instant global network.
