The inaugural International Science Youth Forum, held in Singapore from 19-23 January 2009, brought together 82 energetic youths from Singapore and the region to collaborate on science research and hands-on activities. Three Nobel Laureates in the field of science - Sir Anthony Leggett, Prof Douglas Osheroff and Prof Kurt Wuthrich, were also on hand to inspire the high school and pre-university students in their aspirations for scientific knowledge through a series of dialogues and discussions. The forum also included 28 teachers who participated in sessions to share teaching methods in the area of physics and chemistry.
