Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar

Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar

Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar (SIYSS) is an annual science event organised in connection with the Nobel Prize ceremonies in Stockholm. With its connection to the Nobel Prizes it is widely considered the most prestigious youth science event in the world. The seminar was first held in 1976 and has since been organised by the Swedish Federation of Young Scientists and the Nobel Foundation.

Each year 25 prominent young scientists (ages 18 to mid 20’s) are invited to the event. They have usually won major international science prizes at contests such as the European Union Contest for Young Scientists or the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. However, not all attendees have won an invitation through science contents. Students from Australia, for example, are selected through the leadership and student-staff training component of the National Youth Science Forum.
