Help Andre Represent NZ at LYISF

I have been selected by The Royal Society of New Zealand to represent New Zealand at the London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) and I need YOUR HELP to get there!! Every bit makes a difference - "you move a mountain 1 stone at a time".

LIYSF is a two-week residential event in London which attracts over 500 of the world’s leading young scientists aged 17-21 years old from more than 65 participating countries.

The modern world still presents new challenges and the scientific advancements continue to increase. How science moves forward in the future with the thinkers of today and the questions to be asked comes from those attending LIYSF.

Participants join in a programme of:

- Lectures and demonstrations from leading scientists

- Seminars, debates and discussions on scientific topics of world concern

- Visits to industrial sites and research facilities

- Visits to academic research centres in London, Oxford and Cambridge

- Visits to the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum

- Opportunity to present project investigation work at our Science Bazaar

- Social activities, including discos, inter-hall competitions, a light-hearted international cabaret and an evening of Songs of Home.

- Optional sightseeing tours of London, Stonehenge and Salisbury, Windsor and Hampton Court

- Optional visits to some of the best shows in London theatres

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
