Global Youth Research & Innovation Forum
Integrating STEAM Research, AI & App Innovation for Global Impact
Integrating STEAM Research, AI & App Innovation for Global Impact
An interdisciplinary forum where middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students from around the world present STEAM research, AI and app innovation, and engineering solutions to real-world challenges in health, education, sustainability, technology, and society.
GYRI is built on international partnership across education, research, and innovation — connecting young scholars with mentors, institutions, and a worldwide audience.
More than a competition — a developmental pathway from first submission to public scholarship.
Share your work with a global audience of students, educators, and researchers across continents.
Every submission goes through a developmental review process that helps students reach professional standards.
Accepted abstracts are publicly archived with a DOI via figshare, and featured on the OPALS and AGI websites.
Selected presenters may be invited to submit full manuscripts for a peer-reviewed special issue of a National Tsing Hua University–affiliated journal.
Choose the track that best fits your research or innovation project.
Knowledge discovery and algorithmic innovation in complex data.
Genomics, systems biology, AI-driven biological data analysis.
Neural systems, cognition, neuro-inspired computation.
AI for biomedical research and healthcare solutions.
Mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineering; systems modeling.
Climate modeling, sustainability analytics, environmental monitoring.
Advanced imaging and sensing systems.
Data-driven learning insights and intelligent tutoring systems.
AI-powered apps and assistive technologies for social impact.
AI safety, data privacy, fairness, ethical deployment.
Exact dates will be announced soon. Four milestones to plan around.
Abstract submission $50 per project (non-refundable; covers professional review & mentorship) · Registration $100 per participant (forum access + light lunch).
One student presenting one project. Every attendee registers individually.
Teams of up to 5 students; every member registers individually. One abstract per project.
Join the forum without presenting — full access to talks, posters, and the showcase.
Every attendee registers individually through the online registration form.
$100 per participant registration, plus $50 per project for abstract submission.
Each abstract needs at least one student author and one research mentor.
Iterative, developmental feedback from reviewers until professional standards are met.
Present your work as an oral talk, a poster, or in the innovation showcase.
Our first forum convened on July 18, 2026 at UC San Diego. Browse the archive and event photo gallery.
