Welcome to the Institute's Younger Members' Committee (YMC) web pages! The YMC was established in 1967 to represent the views and interests of its younger members, and is one of the longest running committees in the Institute's history. Younger members account for approximately one third of the Institute's total membership and as such constitute a large and important group of members. The YMC's participation in forming policy decisions is essential and it is through these opportunities that we can make a difference.

Why we exist:
• To represent the views, needs and wants of Younger Members of the Institute (normally under the age of 35).
• To aid recruitment and retention of members to the Institute.
• To promote the Institute as a professional body.
• To support a network of members to act as a focus and voice for Younger Members.
• To represent the views of Younger Members to the wider Science and Engineering communities.
• To report to Council about on going initiatives and activities being organised and undertaken by the Committee.
• To ensure that Committees and Divisions within the Institute have suitable representation of and embrace the needs of Younger Members.

More information about the YMC and its activities will be available here shortly
