Frequently asked questions
Who should attend this YI Forum?
Answer: Young investigators (e.g. undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, clinician trainees, and junior faculty) are the main focus of this event. The goal of the YI Forum is to give young investigators the opportunity to
- showcase their research through moderated poster sessions and oral presentations;
- learn about career development and the latest research, tools and technologies in their fields;
- develop leadership skills and
- interact and share ideas with both peers and mentors.
So if participating in this kind of event interests you, then we welcome you to attend!
Of course, senior researchers who wish to have stimulating interactions and learn with motivated junior researchers are also very welcome to attend.
