As part of KYRN, if you are aged 11-17 you can become a Young Researcher and carry out your own research on health and social care topics that matter to you.

You’ll gain experience and training, including from the University of Kent, to help with your personal development.

What have Young Researchers said?

“I enjoyed being able to work with not only my peers, but also some professionals from the University of Kent.”
“I’ve learnt how to make a good, reliable survey and all the different steps it takes to produce one.”
“I’ve improved my collaboration, problem-solving, adaptability, and many more key skills.”
“I have learnt best practice on how to concisely and effectively ask fair questions, whilst recognising self-bias, and importantly how to interpret and analyse collected data. My ability to work collaboratively, where communication was crucial, was also further developed.”
