Three major "challenging issues" await you, the "Science T Conference" launches global auditions, @ Science Youth Science T | Conference | Global
Initiated by the World Top Scientists Association, the 2023 Science T Conference is scheduled to be held in Shanghai in early November, which will also be the first event of the 6th World Top Scientists Forum.
The "Science T Conference" global audition event was launched today, targeting high school students and freshmen who love science, have participated in or are currently participating in scientific research projects, or have a strong interest and willingness to express themselves in science popularization. The selected 100 teenagers will receive face-to-face communication and interaction opportunities with world top science award winners, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, senior scientists at home and abroad, and young scientists.
Since its establishment in 2018, the World Top Scientists Forum has invited outstanding scientific youth to participate in the forum, and the first "Science T Conference" was established in 2020. The 2023 Science T Conference will be revitalized and upgraded, with the first introduction of a conference chairman system. It will invite top Chinese and foreign scientists to take on the role and participate in event planning, topic setting, and on-site communication throughout the entire process. Dan Shechtman, the winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and acting chairman of the Wolff Foundation, served as the foreign chairman. Zheng Quanshui, an academician of the CAS Member, an expert in solid mechanics and micro nano mechanics, the founding chief professor of Qian Xuesen's mechanics class at Tsinghua University, and the founding president of Shenzhen Zero One University, served as the Chinese chairman. In addition, this year's "Science T Conference" plans to invite top scientists such as Didier Quiloz, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics, Effi Germanov, winner of the 1994 Fields Prize, and academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to attend and exchange ideas on site. It is worth anticipating that outstanding young scientists from around the world, such as Dai Jiaping, a young professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the National University of Singapore, David Grosa, an associate professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Milan, Italy, Feng Kuanwen, a lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore, Delia Balan, an assistant professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, and Alex Abramson, an assistant professor at the School of Chemistry and Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will also be invited to Shanghai to join the interaction.
This year's Science T Conference has launched its annual theme for the first time, "Chasing Dreams of Science, Creating a Future.". To further guide and stimulate the problem awareness of young people, this "Science T Conference" audition activity has specially released three major "challenging questions" - Earth 2.0 Plan: How to turn Mars into the second home of humanity; Human 2.0 Project: How AI and nanotechnology sensors can surpass existing cognition and perception, turning humans into superhumans; Future 2.0 Plan: How to achieve the recycling of plastics and build a sustainable future together.
During the audition stage, scientific teenagers can combine their knowledge to break down and analyze the "three major challenging problems", and based on this, extend corresponding topics or propose more challenging new questions. They can cooperate with the production of display posters or models, record videos for complete explanations, and upload them to the website. Science teenagers who pass the video preliminary selection will enter the final selection defense stage in September and sprint for the final nomination opportunity.
