International Science Youth Forum @ Singapore

Add article description

The International Science Youth Forum (ISYF) is a science enrichment programme for students from all over the globe. It is hosted at Hwa Chong Institution (HCI), under the Students' Science Research Club (SSRC),^[2] and co-organised by Ministry of Education (Singapore), with the support of National Research Foundation, Singapore, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Science Centre Singapore, bringing students from across Asia-Pacific together to network and dialogue, with Nobel laureates coming down to share their experiences in the scientific field.

Quick Facts Status, Genre ...

In 2010, a record five Nobel laureates were involved in the panel discussion, one of the key parts of the forum.^[3] In 2016, it brought together over 120 students and educators from all over the world.^[4]

From 2020 to 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the forum was held online through Zoom. In 2023, the forum went back to its original physical format, inviting over 100 delegates across the world to Singapore.
