YES 2026 Awareness Sessions

YES is an innovative global competition developed to raise awareness among Master and PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research fellows and technicians how ideas can be commercialised.

For the past 30 years, teams, united by a dedication to their subject, curiosity, enthusiasm and a desire to learn, attempt to deploy novel science and engineering to address societal challenges such as the ageing population, sustainable food production and global warming. In this way, they develop a business plan for a start-up company based on a hypothetical but plausible idea.

Join us for this awareness session to find out more about YES, this session will cover the following:

• An overview of the programme
• Discussion with a YES alumni
• Opportunity for Q&A
