Asian Science Camp (ASC)

The idea of the Asian Science Camp (ASC) was co-proposed in September 2005, following the Lindau Science Meeting, by Professor Yuan-Tseh Lee from Taiwan, the 1986 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, and Professor Masatoshi Koshiba from Japan, the 2002 Nobel Laureate in Physics.

ASC is an annual event designed to inspire science-talented youths through discussions and dialogues with leading scholars and technologists worldwide. It also aims to promote international friendship and cooperation among the best young students of the next generation in Asia. Malaysia was honored to host ASC 2017, held from 20 to 26 August 2017 at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (Kampar Campus), Malaysia.

Asian Science Camp 2025 (ASC 2025) marks the fifteenth (15th) event in this series. It will be hosted by the Promotion of Academic Olympiad and Development of Science Education Foundation (POSN) at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, in conjunction with the auspicious occasion of the 70th Birthday Anniversary of H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. This event honors H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s outstanding contributions to education, science, and sustainable development in Thailand. ASC 2025 is scheduled to take place from 31 July to 5 August 2025 at the Regional Science Park and Suranaree University of Technology in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support and enhance Malaysia’s representation in international STEM initiatives, KLESF is proud to participate in ASC 2025. This event offers a valuable opportunity for our students to engage with top-tier scientists and peers from across Asia, fostering scientific learning, innovation, and collaboration.

Five outstanding students from Malaysian schools will be selected to attend ASC 2025, accompanied by a representative from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). Students will be chosen based on their academic excellence in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, along with a demonstrated interest in science and research. These students represent Malaysia’s future leaders in science and innovation.
