In the last ten years we have seen how young people no longer have the desire to go to university and continue to develop, it is a generation that does not understand the real world due to the influence of the media and technologies, as we can help them to wish to continue growing as professionals.
We can engage more young people in the research world by providing them the following facilities.
1. Adequate financial assistance needs to be provided to the bright and meritorious students to motivate them to pursue research.
2. State-of-the-art infrastructure to facilitate research.
3. Adequate research grants should be provided to carry out the research.
4. Committed and dedicated mentors/guides to inspire the students.
5. Availability of sufficient books and e-journals in the library to facilitate research.
6. Incentives should be provided for publication and patents.
7. Financial assistance needs to be provided for attending international seminars and conferences.
The work of youth researchers needs to be supported with appropriate human, financial, and logistical resources. Young people need to be engaged in and informed about the rights and responsibilities involved in research. The young people of today have strong moral values. The use of role models is one tool to inspire young people. Positive role models schemes for promoting science and also give young Scientist Award and incentive for motivation of Young Scientists.
With attractive researches, methods, techniques, innovative approach... we need to inspire young people... furthermore, good financial incentives can also be a good motivator for engaging young people in research world...
Research discovers, elucidates and evaluates new knowledge, ideas, and the technologies essential in driving the future of society and humanity. Unfortunately, research in India is showing a downward trend. The following steps should be taken to engage more young people in the research world.
1) Availability of adequate financial support to carry out research.
2) Existence of research laboratories having the state-of-the-art equipment.
3) Availability of highly qualified and experienced faculty members with unwavering commitment and passion towards innovation and research.
4) A well-stocked library having adequate books, e-books, journals, e-journals, digital library etc.
5) A conducive academic and research environment in the institutions/universities.
6) Inculcating a feeling of pride and purposefulness among teachers and students that their major task is to foster prosperity and sustainable development of the society through innovation and research.
If they csn percieve it as attractive future job, they will join. But if one is constantly exposed to news on low investment in R&D, low appretiation of innovativeness, and difficulties in pursuing academoc career...no wonder the situation is this way, at least in Croatia.
1, Role model is necessary for young people.
2. Research is done for the sake of interview marks, academic position etc and very few people have other real goals from their research. So we should propagate the true picture and purpose of research.
3. Make the research more attractive for them by proper funding oppurtunities, real life value of the research.
We must be real and practical about our research in terms of engaging underserved students. If students are pulled away by technology and social media, then our research must become more centered around technology and social media to engage disadvantaged learners.
Motivation to their curiosity with good funding can help.
Mentoring also required but with mentoring we can prepare workers not scientists. Scientists can work if they don't have any kind of pressure from anywhere and dedicated for science.
Otherwise as rightly mentioned above just for some perks in job or for future career people are working.
It appears from the statement that young people are not interested in research......and they are to be motivated for the same. But probably this is not the reality absolutely.
At the beginning of a research career all are literally young in age from where they look forward to continue the journey all the way for a renewed or rather transformed wisdom. Obviously all young people do not always opt this career. There should initially be a unique, strong and unidirectional inner motivation from within the students at their post graduation level or even well before that as an essential prerequisite. Then there are some external factors which may be advised, promoted, facilitated by us....the senior counterparts, as follows:
1. They (the young minds and would be researchers)should be known that research is not an exam-based,mechanistic, programmed module which often tastes bitter.......rather it is almost a fun where hypothesis will reach a logical end......the truth...... which they initially think to be and at the end be proved in a sweet way.
2. They should be helped to believe that it is always rewarding
3. They should be learnt to respect it as a responsibility assigned to them for a great cause.
4. They should be encouraged to assimilate the inner beauty of research as it is actually a service to the society and the human beings and the nature and the GOD in whatever way they believe.
Teachers should be ideal to students. Young minds always do follow their role models.
By creating facilities for research as well as motivating youngsters for research.
Modern technologies have turned into an essential part of life and they serve a pivotal role in doing research. Since the modern generation is quite at ease with the application of digital tools, they can easily learn their potential merits which facilitate self discovery. Doing research almost invariably involves the use of some kind of digital tool one way or the other. Therefore, the young's interest in digital techniques can be used as a source of motivation for involving them in research.
As has been said by Christopher J Graham , I feel mentoring is key. Being willing to help and support a younger generation of researchers is vital.
I think universities should add to their curriculum RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY. Also, in at every level in the University, students should be ask to carry out certain researches, by so doing, I believe they will get used to it.
Lecturers or teachers should engage young people in research activities so that they acquire essential research skills. When young people participate in research activities they usually become motivated to investigate further pertaining the problem under study.
Incorporate basic research skills into class assignments. Teach the value of research and spark the intellectual interest of your students. You will have some students step up and ask to become more involved. Mentor these bright minds as if they were gold. They are the future.
By imparting practical and pragmatic education we can motivate young generation for taking higher education.
thanks for your comments, it is necessary more support for youngers research
In the school and college campus, mobile jammers should be used for benifit of the students, both for good education and for growing of good habit.
Such students may get some idea about the practical world. Understanding of importance of research will be the next step.
Link social media to agriculture And Improve agriculture’s image, strengthen higher education in agriculture. Greater use of Information and Communication Technologies .Empower young people to speak up.
I agree with Dr. Christopher J Graham. Mentors can play a vital role to engage more young people in the research world.
In my experience successful reaserach team with established practice a of colloborative work and support, working on innovative ideas looks very attractive and inspiring to younger researchers.
We must develop a new approaches that attract young people to the field of scientific research
How can we engage more young people in the research world?
Perhaps we can explore the following approach:
Lack of funding for these young ones is the main cause of their lack of interest in research.
Others include lack of motivation and expert guidance from the majority of the skilled researchers in higher institutions who selfishly and greedily look into their own benefits in the research activities.
The fastest way is to dedicate some budget by the government for research, through research projects in universities and national research centers. many thanks for colleagues.

It is by directing them towards research-oriented academic exercises. Many young people do not like taking research oriented studies. By catching them young and introducing them early to research culture, they can grow with it.

I think it is the time of invesment in the science and we have to direct them towards research of benifts to the markts
Youth participation through attendance of seminars and conferences and urging them to research activity, scientific expeditions and collection of models ... all help young people to continue research ..
In colleges there should be special lecture regarding research such that student can understand the importance of research
