Participants will be able to meet up in a friendly international atmosphere for lectures from keynote speakers, short talks and posters from YSF attendees, sessions supporting scientific career development, and a social programme. YSF participants will then move on to also experience the larger 50th Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Congress in Maastricht.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ will financially support participation of successful YSF applicants from Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ countries* in both the YSF and the ensuing Congress, via YSF grants. Full details of the eligibility criteria are on the of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Congress website. Applicants must submit an abstract to the YSF and Congress as first author, and be a member of a Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Constituent Society.

YSF applications must be made through the Congress abstract submission system, selecting the YSF Applicant option, by 10 December 2025. Good luck!
