Millennium Youth Camp offers young people between years 16-19 an overview of Finnish expertise and top-level research in the natural sciences, mathematics and technology. Students network with each other, with individuals in Finnish companies and organisations, and with top scientists.
The target of the international Millennium Youth Camp is to find young people interested in mathematics, science and technology, and help them start up a career in these fields. During the one-week-camp, Youth Campers are introduced to a number of Finnish companies and higher educational institutions. In addition to lectures, workshops and visits to Millennium Youth Camp partners, the programme includes project work supervised by top-level experts and carried out in small multi-national groups.
