An application form has been sent out to anyone who has expressed an interest in attending IYPS2008 via our website. This should be returned by the end of November 2007 at the latest, but earlier if possible. You can download an application form here:

In deciding who should attend IYPS2008, the organising committee will be looking for Young Professionals, aged 21 to 40, who are already or who will be able to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. We will also be trying to ensure a broad representation of delegates from different regions of the World, in different professions and across the MDG sector interests. By the end of this year, we will be inviting successful applicants to register for the event using an online registration process. Successful applicants may also apply to receive, in exceptional circumstances only, assistance for attending the event, and we will also send formal letters of invitation for relevant visas.

If you apply but are not accepted to attend in person, please do not be disappointed. We have had an exceptional response so far and places are limited. However, we will ensure there are lots of ways to get involved next August whether by watching webcasts of the speakers, getting involved in web blogs or attending local / regional meetings during the IYPS2008 event. Some people may even prefer this as a way of attending, rather than flying to the UK, as it will minimise carbon footprints.
