Young Researchers Program
A first structured route into research for students who have the interest but no obvious way in.
The first opportunity is the hardest to get
Research positions almost always ask for research experience. For a student without a family connection to the field, an institution with an active laboratory, or the means to work unpaid, that requirement is a closed door — and it closes on ability as often as on anything else.
The Young Researchers Program is designed as a first opening. It assumes no prior laboratory experience and no professional network. It asks for demonstrated interest and a willingness to work carefully. Its purpose is to produce a first genuine research experience that a participant can build on.

Tell us you would like to take part
Send us a short note about what you are studying and why you are interested in research. No research experience is expected.
Support the next generation of researchers
Programmes like this depend on funding and on experienced researchers willing to give time to teaching.
