The IDEA Youth Forum 2008 in Bulgaria is over!
What seemed like impossible came true!
The IDEA Youth Forum 2008 is over! It was eventful ;) and challanging at times, but I am sure you agree with me that the atmosphere of final rounds of debates at the end of the YF has been a great source of satisfaction and justification for the sleepless nights!
Have a great summer, good start of the next academic year and see you in 350 days in Bosnia& Herzegovina!
We will be posting loads of pictures to the website, so come back and check them out!

Options of trips planned for the August 1st!
Dear Youth Forum participant
if you were thinking that the Youth Forum was just about working in labs and staying in Smolyan you were wrong!
If you look at the schedule we will be going out of Smolyan twice througout the Youth Forum. First time for the finals on July 26th to beuatiful ancient city of Plovdiv. There you will have a chance to hang around for about an hour and then we will have the finals in one of the most preserved amphitheatres from Roman times in Europe.
The second time you will have a chance to leave the location is on August 1st, which is a day devoted to whole day trips. Look at the options you can choose from below. Please indicate your preference at the registartion on spot upon arrival or else you will be bugged by the organizers on the spot!
