Projects
What are projects?
Throughout the year, YSI’ers organize projects to further their research interests. Some happen online, others take place in-person. Some are one-offs, others are structured as a series. Sometimes, projects consist of peer-to-peer discussions. Other times, a senior scholar is invited to join.
Can I attend?
Virtual projects are always open to anyone interested at any time. For in-person projects, it varies. Local meet-ups are open to anyone who wants to show up. Workshops and pre-conferences typically involve an application process. Selected young scholars are usually invited to present and may receive support towards their travel.Â

Apply to participate in-person:
These projects are currently calling for applicants. Application requirements vary, but often involve an abstract and a motivation. You’re welcome to apply to any project, but please be aware that stipend budgets are always limited. You may be more likely to be admitted to projects taking place in your own geographic region (a train ride or short flight away).
Or start your own project.
If you’d like to take an active role in your Working Group, you can become an Organizer, and run your own Webinars, Workshops, and other projects. Coordinators are there to support you.
