HISTORY OF YOUNG RESEARCHERS’ FORUM (YRF), PGIS

PGIS-YRF was established on 12th May 2005 at a seminar on ‘Challenges and Opportunities in Scientific Researcher for Young Researchers’ conducted by the PGIS. The Forum was found with a view to:

  1.       Realize the potential of young researchers as the next generation of scientists.
  2.      Interact and exchange information pertaining to scientific research in order to disseminate knowledge and extend collaboration among     other groups (local and foreign)    with similar interests.
  3.      Generate a research climate that allows for creativity, open communication and free flow of ideas and talents.
  4.      Create a platform to bring to the attention of the authorities and government, the problem faced by young researchers in carrying out       scientific research in Sri Lanka.
  5.    Promote public awareness and importance of scientific research.
        Members of the Young Researchers’ Forum are open to all postgraduate students currently registered for an M.Phil. or a Ph.D., and M.Sc (during their project phase) at the Postgraduate Institute of Science, young research scientists and university staff who are active in scientific research in universities and other universities and other institutions.
