The Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (YSTE) is run under the guidance and ownership of a charity by the same name. It is governed by a Board of Directors and was founded in 2003 to protect and promote the YSTE.
The overarching vision of the charity is “To be recognised globally for generating excitement in young people about the power of science and its ability to improve our world.” This vision is supported by a clear purpose: “To spark curiosity through the next generation.”
