BGC scientist at GYSS summit in Singapore

Ashish Malik, former PhD student and now postdoctoral fellow at MPI-BGC, joined the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) 2015 in Singapore from January 18 to 23. He was among the four early career scientists representing the Max Planck Society in the German delegation.

GYSS is a gathering of bright and successful young scientists from all over the world. During the meeting, they were mentored and inspired by eminent scientists and technology leaders who are winners of prestigious global science and technology awards like the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Millennium Technology Prize, Turing Award and IEEE Medal of Honour. The theme for GYSS 2015 was "Advancing Science, Creating Technologies for a Better World". Over the six-day programme, the young researchers interacted with the eminent scientists and peers to discuss key areas of science and research, technology innovation and society, and solutions to global challenges.
