8th Asian Science Camp 2014

摘要

More than 300 students and accompanying teachers from around Asia took part in the 8th Asian Science Camp at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) involving five Nobel Laureates and one Field Medallist. The 8th Asian Science Camp is organised by MTU's Institute of Advanced Studies and supported by the Ministry of Education, the National Research Foundation, and the Lee Kong Chian Foundation. Held for the first time in Singapore, the Asian Science Camp (ASC) aims to inspire promising young teenagers from Asia to undertake scientific research through their interaction and dialogue with Nobel Laureates and other eminent scientists. It also strengthens the international science community through such interaction and collaboration. More importantly, it ensures the ground remains fertile for the growth of science and research throughout Asia by exposing youths to the impacts of scientific discoveries.
