The Science Castle Singapore Conference brings together junior and senior high school students from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and other Asian countries to foster intellectual curiosity through cross-border exchange and to produce human resources who will move Asia and the world in the future. This is an international conference where all moderators and presentations will be given in English.
We hope that many of the next generation will emerge from here to solve the world's problems through research and create a new future.
