The International Science Youth Forum (ISYF) is a science enrichment programme for students from all over the globe. It is hosted at Hwa Chong Institution (HCI), under the Students' Science Research Club (SSRC), and co-organised by Ministry of Education (Singapore), with the support of National Research Foundation, Singapore, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Science Centre Singapore, bringing students from across Asia-Pacific together to network and dialogue, with Nobel laureates coming down to share their experiences in the scientific field.

In 2010, a record five Nobel laureates were involved in the panel discussion, one of the key parts of the forum. In 2016, it brought together over 120 students and educators from all over the world.

From 2020 to 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the forum was held online through Zoom. In 2023, the forum went back to its original physical format, inviting over 100 delegates across the world to Singapore.

Forum

First organized in 2009 by students from Hwa Chong Institution and co-organized by Nanyang Technological University, Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS), the forum has been held every year since 2009.
