Page "Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar" Paragraph 1

Each year 25 prominent young scientists ( ages 18 to mid 20 ’ s ) are invited to the event.

They have usually won international science prizes at contests such as the European Union Contest for Young Scientists or the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

However, not all attendees have won an invitation through science contents.

Students from Australia, for example, are selected through the leadership and student-staff training component of the National Youth Science Forum.

The nationalities of the participating scientists vary slightly as some spots are reserved for winners of science contests while some countries have fixed allocation of spots.
