Mumbai University to host 8th Indian Youth Science Congress from February 16 to 18

This year’s theme focuses on food security in the climate change context. The eighth edition of IYSC is jointly organised by MU’s M S Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), SRM University and Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development. The event is open to students and researchers in the fields of genetic resources and climate change, carbon sinks, early warning signals, natural resource management and traditional wisdom.

Deshmukh said, “Youth constitute a major chunk of the population in our country. So it is important to recognise and facilitate their lateral learning. This is what Dr M S Swaminathan says and Mumbai University wishes to take this forward. The two-day event will have back-to-back discussions and conferences on research and policies pertaining to this year’s theme.”
