The Asian Science Camp 2013 (ASC 2013) is held from August 25 to 30, 2013 at Epochal Tsukuba-Tsukuba International Congress Center, Tsukuba, Japan, involving 200 students from all over Asian countries/regions. The participating students are those from high school (11th and 12th grade) and university (1st and 2nd year) who are selected as promising in science.
The idea of ASC was discussed in 2005 after the Lindau Science Meeting by Professor Yuan-Tseh Lee, the 1986 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, and Professor Masatoshi Koshiba, the 2002 Nobel Laureate in Physics. The proposal aims to enlighten those science-talented youths through discussion and dialogue with top scholars in the world and to promote the international friendship and cooperation among the best young students of the next generation in Asia.
The ASC International Advisory Committee approved that Japan hosted the ASC in 2013. Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) decided to take part in the organization.
ASC 2013 is the 7th of the series, following successful camps at Taipei (2007), Bali (2008), Tsukuba (2009), Mumbai (2010), Daejeon (2011),andJerusalem (2012).
