OVERVIEW

The idea of the BRICS Young Scientists’ Forum was adopted at the second BRICS Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) Ministerial Meeting. As part of BRICS Young Scientists Forum’s activities, the first BRICS Young Scientist Conclave was held in Bangalore (India) in September 2016.

As a follow up of the above and to implement the BRICS Leaders’ declaration on “strengthening cooperation in science, technology and innovation, especially leveraging young scientific talent for addressing societal challenges; creating a networking platform for BRICS young scientists”, and to implement the instructions of BRICS ministers, in 2021, the sixth BRICS Young Scientist Conclave is schedules to take place at National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore, India in September 2021.
