From the UK: NSTF Brilliants students inspired by top global STEM facilities

The National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF)‘s partnership with the London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) continued for the third consecutive year for selected students of the NSTF Brilliants Programme. Six students (up from three in 2024) attended the LIYSF in the United Kingdom (UK) from 23 July to 6 August 2025.This 15-day programme welcomed about 500 of the best young science students from over 80 countries. LIYSF 2025 explored developments in the sciences with lecture demonstrations, specialist seminars and debates led by a team of scientists and experts. The students had a great time in the UK and said it was an opportunity they would cherish for the rest of their lives and throughout their future careers in STEM. (STEM = science, technology, engineering and mathematics.) Watch a snippet of the Brilliants students greeting the guests at the Awards Gala Dinners from the UK.
