Young Citizens Conference

MILSET Young Citizens Conferences (YCC) are dedicated to the views and concerns of youth regarding the social impact of science and technology on the modern world, gathering their voices from every part of the globe and encouraging them to enter the discussion actively.

The exponential growth of new technologies and scientific knowledge has generated new and exciting possibilities; however, this has also raised new ethical, social and ecological issues. We believe that the open-mindedness of young scientists, combined with their sense of social responsibility can yield important contributions to the dialogue.

The primary goals of these conferences are achieved through a three-step methodology: Concerns / Discussion / Actions

YCC GOALS Create a space where youth can express their views on the topic;

·      Create a space where youth can express their views on the topic;

·      Engage youth in discussion and debate concerning their future;

·      Enable youth to discover their responsibilities;

·      Encourage youth to express their concerns about the topic through participation in an open global discussion;

·      Present the voice of youth through short video presentations, which will be posted on the MILSET website and other internet platforms.

During ESI 2019, youth participants will have the opportunity to raise their voices about ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, with the support of experts on the field. If you are an accredited participant of ESI 2019 between 13 to 25 years old, wait for the YCC registration launching in July.

Lectures, Workshops and Round Tables and Conferences

The purpose of these scientific sessions is to complement the scientific contents showcased in the exhibiting area and to encourage communication and interaction between the participants.

These activities provide the forum for scientific discussions between students as well as between the scientific communities and teachers, students, and even public attendees.

An important theme is inter-disciplinary research. Fellows are working in different groups, laboratories and institutes and the research activities address a wide variety of scientific problems.
