01 / Who we are
A community
built around
research.
“By young researchers, for young researchers.”
FYR — Forum for Young Researchers is an international, non-profit initiative supporting students and early-career scientists who work in, or are interested in, homeopathy research.
Our main focus is on PhD and MD students and researchers at the beginning of their careers. Bachelor’s and Master’s students are welcome, as are experienced researchers who wish to contribute through mentoring, exchange and support.
Launched in the context of the Homeopathy Research Institute (HRI) conference in 2023, FYR is now working towards becoming an independent, member-led association based in Switzerland, while remaining open to collaboration with HRI and other scientific organisations.

02 / What we do
Good research grows
through exchange.
We offer a constructive and critically scientific environment where emerging researchers can develop their projects — and themselves.

Develop
together.
Workshops, feedback, mentoring and opportunities to grow professionally.
Looking ahead: we hope to expand hybrid participation and, where funding allows, help early-career researchers attend scientific events.
03 / Our journey
Conversations that
started something.
From our first meeting in London to a follow-up workshop in Thessaloniki, FYR is taking shape through scientific exchange and community involvement.
