Science Cafés
At Youth-GEMs, we are firm believers that young voices are key to our project’s success. Every month, our researchers and Young Experts meet online for two hours in Science Cafés to address specific research topics or project tasks.
Facilitated by EYMH, these interactive sessions offer a safe space for sharing insights and feedback while also fostering a deeper understanding of mental health research. At the next Science Café, presenters highlight how this input has been applied, strengthening our co-creation efforts.

Science Café #25 – Achievements and Plans
The last Science Café of 2024 was dedicated to reviewing the involvement of the young experts in 2024 and making plans for 2025!

Co-creation & Exploitation
On the #24 Science Cafe Young-Experts discussed the co-creation and exploitation opportunities within Youth-GEMs.

Science communication and ESM-research
This Science Café was all about science communication and ESM-research. Young experts of EYMH reflected together with the invited researchers on these topics.

Self-assessment app
In Youth-GEMs we are currently developing a self-assessment app. This app can be used by youth as a mental health support tool.

Immune system & prediction of mental health trajectories
This Science Café focused on the immune system in relation to mental health as well as the prediction of mental health trajectories in psychotic experiences.

AI in mental health trajectories
This Science Café was dedicated to ‘Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mental health trajectories’.

Website & social media activities
A Science Café on internal and external science communication!

App development
This Science Café had two main subjects: app development and identification of gene-environment interactions.

Clinical study & recruitment
Marta Ferrer came back to the Science Café community to give an update on the clinical study (which will be developed in work package 7).

Genes and molecular insights into mental wellbeing
This Science Café was dedicated to ‘genes and molecular insights into mental wellbeing’.
