The Asian Science Camp brings together around 200 talented young people in celebration of science and friendship across the Asia-Pacific region.
The camp aims to promote international cooperation and networks among high-achieving young science students of the next generation in Asia and Oceania.
During the six-day camp, Nobel Laureates and world class researchers will share their science experience through plenary sessions, round table discussions and student master classes, which will encourage deeper thinking about science and scientific knowledge among delegates.
Striking a balance between work and play, the camp also offers a taste of an Asian culture with visits to iconic sites and insights into local culture.
