The Faculty of Science is seeking students enrolled in a UFV science program to represent UFV at the London International Youth Science Forum taking place from July 19 – August 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

ABOUT LIYSF<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0London International Youth Science Forum\u00a0<\/a>(LIYSF) offers a two-week science Summer Camp in the UK, both online and in-person held at Imperial College London & The Royal Geographical Society. Each year, 500 students aged 16-21 years old from 70 countries enjoy our 15-day STEM Summer Camp with lecture demonstrations from leading scientists, scientific visits to world-class laboratories and science universities, combined with international cultural interaction.<\/p>\n

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 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.<\/p>\n
