Welcome

Welcome to the official central webpage of the global IYNT movement and the IYNT General Council.

The International Young Naturalists' Tournament, IYNT, bridges gaps across natural sciences and inspires young students. We aim at promoting creative potential of teenagers aged 12 to 16 who are eager to explore the World, experiment, work in teams, and gain new skills in an international setting.

The Tournament was conceived with a goal of establishing an educational network and supporting talented youth. The problems of the IYNT come from various areas of natural sciences. The IYNT attracts students to interdisciplinary, independent research without prioritizing any narrow area.

The format of the IYNT has been successfully tested over many years and is based on Evgeny Yunosov's award-winning, breathtaking concept of the IYPT, itself conceived in 1979.

The culture of cooperation and networking is at the core of our mission. We bring together young people from different cultures and relentlessly fascinate them with science. We invite you to join the IYNT movement.

    • Dear friends,
      The IYPT should have a young brother, Young Naturalists' Tournament. The YNT would bring something into the current IYPT: motivated and more experienced participants who are fascinated with science.
