Accelerating both individual and collective change, the conclave built a BRICS leadership (BRICS Youth Alumni) and reinforced its regional STI policies, young skill development and entrepreneurship,” reads the official statement.

The BRICS Young Scientists Forum was held in September 2016 by India to offer opportunities for young scientists to engage and network. The BRICS Young Innovator Prize was added in 2018. It aims to recognize young researchers who contributed outstandingly through their innovations.
