2nd Annual YIM Boston, Oct 8-10, 2010


As a recent emerging trend, YIM's have
become a desirable concept in the USA
and India, interfacing leading Indian
Institutes and young Indian scientists
from across the world. The YIM Boston
2009, a pilot event organized last year attracted
over 200 applicants of which 43 outstanding
candidates were chosen to attend a two day closed
session. A year later, statistics confirm that the
experiment worked. Several YIM Boston 2009 short listed
candidates have either already relocated to India or
are in process of the same.

Notably, our one-if-its kind two-day format accommodates
and enhances the opportunity for representatives from
various institutes to meet with potential candidates,
start collaborations and initiate recruitment procedures.
We also host an open day session to accommodate
candidates who did not get selected and to also serve as
an informative session to others who are considering
options of pursuing an academic career in India.

The YIM- Boston chapter’s vision is to emerge as an
entity that provides a platform to young, qualified
researchers worldwide about growth and opportunities
in the biosciences field in India.
