Inter Academy Panel and World Economic Forum organize the second “IAP Conference of Young Scientists”. The Conference will be held in Dalian, order China, from 10-12 September 2009. IAP and WEF will facilitate the participation of 60 outstanding young scientists in the event, to be integrated into the WEF Meeting which will involve around 1500 participants. The Meeting, this year on the theme "The new drivers of future growth" is organized on the basis of round table discussions with a number of sessions held in parallel. A section of the overall programme will be dedicated to "Innovation through Science and Technology". The WEF plans to invite selected young scientists to have speaking roles in sessions on “Innovative Growth” and “Preparing for the Post-Carbon Economy”.
IAP's young scientists will also have an exclusive workshop on the morning of Thursday 10 September 2009, bringing together young scientists, entrepreneurs, as well as young global leaders.
IAP will work closely with a WEF/IAP Partnership Committee in selecting the candidates who best fit the criteria outlined below. WEF will require the list of selected names by June. We are inviting members therefore to send IAP a maximum of four nominations, from different scientific fields, by the deadline of 31 March 2009. IAP cannot accept nominations after this deadline.
