Voices of Young Science (VOYS)

Sense About Science

VoYS is a unique and dynamic network organized by Sense About Science of early career researchers across Europe committed to playing an active role in public discussions about science. By responding to public misconceptions about science and evidence and engaging with the media, policymakers and the public, this active community of 3,000+ researchers is changing the way the public and the media view science and scientists.which hosts regular training workshops and works with young researchers to build an active community to “Stand Up for Science”
