The WSCI is modeled after the Asian Science Camp, which brought leading scientists together with young people every summer for the past decade. The organizers were inspired by the success of the Asian Science Camp in Israel in 2012 to extend this experience and its impact around the globe.

WSCI will provide a unique platform for inspiration, dialogue and discussion between promising young talents and attending Nobel Laureates and Eminent Scientists. It will also help to develop international friendships and cooperation among students from all over the world and focuses on excellent 17-21 years old students.

The WSCI will be held in conjunction with the Nobel Conference for Science & Technology, an international gathering to be held in Tel Aviv, in which the twenty Nobel Laureates, alongside with leaders of government, industry and academy will speak about current developments and future directions for the benefit of mankind.
