The London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) is celebrating the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin alongside its 50th anniversary.
Featuring a packed programme of seminars, lectures and site visits, LIYSF 2009 will centre on 'Science Serving Mankind' as it looks to develop Darwinian notions regarding the very advancement of human endeavour.
Apart from a series of discussions on Charles Darwin, the forum will be focusing on the future of energy on the planet with contributions from some of world's leading scientists, dignitaries and industry pioneers.
It will be led by keynote speaker, Prof John Ellis, physicist from the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN).
Attracting 300 science students globally, aged 17-21 and from over 50 participating countries, LIYSF is dedicated to catalysing interactions between young people throughout the world with science as a central theme.
