The Program
BIYSC is a two-week international science program for young people (16 to 18)
passionate about Science and Technology.
A world-class experience developing research projects at leading research centers and together with active researchers and scientists, participating in scientific conferences and debates, and enjoying sharing the experience with peers from all over the world with whom share the same interests.
“Let’s join us to find the key on what we eat and how we cook it for patients suffering from diabetes and obesity. ”
Toni Massanés
Meet the experts
