Young Scientists Session (YSS)
Young scientists are a unique group of researchers within the academia world, as they are a constant stream of people that have innovative ideas and research, which can either support or challenge existing ways of thinking about the world around us. However, the majority of young scientists leave academia within three years of their research programme being completed. Consequently, and quite often not, many of these ideas and their research leaves as well, without the exposure they deserve. This year, it has been decided that the YSS will take place in a hybrid format for the first time. This is to remove participation barriers and ensure that the best of the next generation still have the opportunity to shine, regardless of location and financial opportunity.
The Young Scientists Session (YSS) is a unique and special occasion that the IDRiM conference provides every year to young scientists as an opportunity to present their innovative research to a wider audience. The session is composed of two parts: Oral session and Poster session. All young speakers give talks in the BOTH parts. Please follow the following instructions.
Online Participation
The session is scheduled to take place at date and time to be confirmed at a later date; but will take place in the run-up to the IDRiM 2023 conference.
In-Person Participation
The sessions are scheduled to take place at the following times:
- Oral Session Friday 29th /Saturday 30th September: 09:00-10:00
- Poster Session TBC
Both Participations
Each speaker is given roughly five minutes for their presentation and two minutes for discussion during the Oral Session. It is followed by the 50-minute Poster Session. With both sessions, there is a lot of time for fruitful discussions in both Oral and Interactive sessions, young speakers will receive insightful feedback from senior researchers and other participants. YSS participants are automatically eligible to take part in the “Best Young Scientists Award” competition. The Award Ceremony will be held during the conference.
Best Young Scientist Award
Like IDRiM has done every year, we have organized the “Best Young Scientist Award” competition, where we request all the senior researchers to serve as judges. Due to two formats, there will be two winners of this competition this year.
The award ceremony will take place during the closing ceremony of the conference on Saturday 30th September at:
- 17:30 – 18:30 IST (India);
- 08:00 – 09:00 EDT (East Coast United States);
- 14:00 – 15:00 CEST (Western and Central Europe);
- 21:00 – 22:00 JST (Japan)
We strongly recommend that ALL YSS participants to attend the closing ceremony.
After The Conference
The top three YSS awardees (both In-Person and Online) from IDRiM 2023, will be invited to a specially arranged session, in December 2023, to give these awardees a chance to give a full academic style presentation, as a way to celebrate their achievement. The exact date and time of this event will be decided between the YSS and events committee and awardees in the weeks following the IDRiM 2023 conference. To see past awardee presentations, please visit: https://idrim.org/?p=10733
All YSS participants are encouraged to submit full-length paper. They will be reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the IDRiM journal. Further details about the journal are available at the following link: https://www.idrimjournal.com/
Please Note:
If you would like to submit your paper, please submit your full paper to the IDRiM Journal, and send an e-mail to the IDRiM Secretariat (matthews.ayuna.5n@kyoto-u.ac.jp) informing your submission.
Qualification to be a Young Scientists is neither given by a physical age nor a position. Presenters of past YSSs were mainly graduate students, PhD candidates, researchers who received their PhD degree within the past 2-3 years, and researchers who made their debut in international academic discussion. If you are not sure if you can enter the YSS session, you can send an email to the IDRiM Secretariat (see email above).
