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 Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS), bringing students from across Asia-Pacific together to network and dialogue, with Nobel laureates coming down to share their experiences in the scientific field.
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]
Forum[]
First organized in 2009 by students from Hwa Chong Institution and co-organized by Nanyang Technological University, Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS), the forum has been held every year since 2009.
