BRICS Young Innovator Prize 2025: A Unique Opportunity for Young Iranian Innovators in Applying Artificial Intelligence to Public Service Solutions

On Tuesday, 15 July 2025, a meeting was held at Young Scientists Festival Secretariat with Dr. Alireza Hashemi who stands as the Head of International Affairs at the Center for Progress and Development of Iran (CPDI).

BRICS Young Scientists Forum announcing its 2025 Innovator Prize to be held in Brazil (https://www.brics-ysf.org/), Dr. Hashemi proposed that the Young Scientists Festival (YSF) assist in disseminating this scientific call among its network of participants and alumni. Given YSF’s track record of nurturing young researchers, its community includes a range of suitable candidates who may benefit from this opportunity. The suggested collaboration focuses on informing relevant audiences and encouraging eligible individuals to engage with the BRICS initiative.

Within this framework, the CPDI —together with national innovation organizations—invites young PhD holders under the age of 40 who have developed ideas or innovative projects in the field of applying artificial intelligence to public service solutions to register and submit their work for participation in this international event.

The BRICS Young Innovator Prize is one of the leading initiatives endorsed by BRICS member states, aimed at identifying and supporting outstanding young talents in applying artificial intelligence to public service solutions.

Eligible innovators are encouraged to send their contact details in order to receive registration forms by emailing ysfbrics@gmail.com or messaging via WhatsApp at +98 990 970 0168.
