Melting Pot & Job Opportunities
Human resources development through the Melting Pot
ICYS uses the term “Melting Pot” to refer to the environment that results when a multinational group of young researchers from different fields, cultures, and races gathers in a single space. When young people with different nationalities, cultures, and specialties gather in a single place, they are forced to confront the differences in their mentalities, giving rise to new ideas and laying the foundation for previously unforeseen research directions. ICYS seeks to foster the development of talented young research leaders through unique research operations founded on its mission of the “four I’s” - International, Independent, Innovative, and Interdisciplinary (In4).

One defining characteristic of the ICYS is that young researchers can conduct independent research based on their own ideas. A mentor system combines with extensive clerical and research support programs administered by a bilingual staff.
