MILSET ESI 2027

About Team Canada-MILSET 2027

MILSET Expo-Sciences International (ESI) is a weeklong international youth STEM project exhibition, bringing together 1000 youth from around the world, with a focus on communication, cooperation, networking, and sociocultural interchange, rather than competition.

In addition to the project expo, the participant program includes cultural and scientific visits, leisure activities, workshops, presentations, lectures, and opportunities for youth to address global STEM-related issues. National youth STEM program leaders meet during the event to share and discuss best practices in STEM promotion and education.

MILSET ESI is held every two years. The next event will take place in Kuwait City, Kuwait, in October or early November 2027.
