Asian Science Camp

This idea of an annual camp was co-proposed by Yuan Tseh Lee and Masatoshi Koshiba at the 2005 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.

The proposal expressed the aim to enlighten science talented youths through discussions and dialogues with top scholars in the world, and promoting international friendship and cooperation among best young students of the next generation in Asia.

The Asian Science Camp would invite a dozen Nobel Laureates or world-distinguished scientists as speakers and devise an interesting program to attract all the participants, including plenary sessions, round table discussions, student master dialogues, a creative poster competition, social events and excursion.

This non-government Foundation was established in 1995 to commemorate the monumental contributions of Madame Dr. Wu Chien-Shiung to physics and her lifelong love for science education.

The Camp was hosted by Thailand and organized by the Promotion of Academic Olympiad and Development of Science Education Foundation (POSN) to celebrate the 60th birthday of H.R.H.

Plenary lectures were given by Yuan T Lee, Robert Huber, Harald zur Hausen, Ada Yonath, Vladimir Voevodsky, Hitoshi Murayama and Yongyuth Yuthavong.
