The Art of Living Global Young Scientist Forum is created under the aegis of Sri Sri Institute for Advanced Research, the Art of Living Research wing. The objective of the forum is to engage young scientists in the conducting and sharing of good quality research on Global Ancient Knowledge Systems.

Young scientists are the foundation of the scientific discoveries of the future. The AOLGYSF provides an opportunity for young scientists to network , learn from each other and provide mentorship to their juniors. We welcome young brilliant minds to join together and work towards applying the solutions from ancient wisdom to the modern challenges and sustainable development of society.

Global Ancient Knowledge Systems is a term coined by SSIAR & refers to the ancient techniques, practices and traditions that encourage the spirit of scientific enquiry. Ancient knowledge systems stand alongside the global modern knowledge systems, often characterized as the ‘scientific worldview’, a term which came to prominence in the 17th Century.

Through the AOLGYSF we aim to bring experts from the varied field of GAKS who are applying ancient and traditional knowledge to solve the global modern challenges. The modern scientific worldview is considered the gold standard to solve problems of humanity. However, recent years have highlighted the role of GAKS in providing a holistic and broader worldview which complements the modern scientific method. GAKS are based on ancient wisdom and are being validated increasingly with modern science.

We are building a community of young and extraordinary scientists from various academic disciplines and geographies and are committed to integrate global ancient knowledge systems in a scientific way to combat the modern-day challenges and contribute to the holistic and sustainable development of the world.

This Forum aims to provide a unique, one of its kind, and a common platform to the young, vibrant, and brilliant scientific minds spread globally, to lead, learn, mentor, and achieve their goal of contributing to society together.
