Roche Scholarship to attend the Young One World 2025

About the Scholarship

It is only by partnering with the leading minds in science and healthcare that we can best serve the needs of patients, particularly those from traditionally underserved communities. This is why Roche is committed to collaborative working with NHS organisations from across the United Kingdom. 

As climate change poses a significant threat to our wellbeing, Roche recognises the inextricable connection between planetary and human health. That is why innovations in healthcare must be truly sustainable - for both the environment and society. Roche is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions globally by 2050 and halving the environmental impacts of its products and operations.

Roche is therefore proud to partner with One Young World to launch the Roche Scholarship 2025, which will enable 4 outstanding professionals working in the NHS to participate in the One Young World Summit in Munich, Germany on 3-6 November 2025. 

This programme is intended for young leaders within the NHS who have demonstrated a commitment to sustainable innovation in healthcare. Examples may include (but are not limited to) the following: 

• Tackling the causes and effects of health inequalities. 
• Creating or implementing innovative methods of treatment or diagnosis to enhance the patient care pathway.
• Reducing emissions or burdens on natural resources, such as through decarbonising healthcare supply chains. 

One Young World are delighted to be hosted by the City of Munich - a global hub for innovation and technology with a rich history and vibrant culture.

Munich is renowned for its architecture and culture and has become a major international centre for business, technology, engineering, research, and medicine. It is home to several universities and is the headquarters for many multinational companies and world-class technology and science centres. We look forward to working closely with our world-leading partners to host the landmark leadership event of the year!

The Summit will take place from 3 - 6 November 2025, where over 2,000 young leaders from more than 190 countries will gather across the city’s well-known venues.

What is One Young World?

One Young World was founded in 2009 by David Jones and Kate Robertson. We are a UK-based charity that gathers together the brightest young leaders from around the world, empowering them to make lasting connections to create positive change. 

We stage an annual Summit where the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations are joined by world leaders, acting as the One Young World Counsellors.

Delegates participate in four transformative days of speeches, panels, networking and workshops. All delegates have the opportunity to apply to give keynote speeches, sharing a platform with world leaders with the world’s media in attendance. As well as listening to keynote speakers, delegates have the opportunity to challenge world leaders, interact and be mentored by influencers. Delegates make lasting connections throughout the Summit, celebrating their participation at social events and the unforgettable Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

After each Summit, the delegates, who are then known as One Young World Ambassadors, work on their own initiatives or lend the power of the One Young World network to those initiatives already in existence. Of those in employment, many returns to their companies and set about creating change from within, energising their corporate environment.
