The Hwa Chong Asia-Pacific Young Leaders Summit (HC-APYLS) is a biennial event that aims to create a high-profile platform for student leaders from countries around the world to engage in intellectual engagement and inquiry into issues plaguing the world. Focusing on cultural diversity, the summit emphasizes the importance of both multicultural and multilateral understanding. The theme of 2024’s Summit was "World in Transition: Thriving Amidst the Transformation." In a time of rapid change—driven by technological innovation, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and evolving social dynamics—the summit encouraged delegates to explore how societies can not only adapt but thrive amidst these transitions. The student delegates were actively involved in discussions regarding pertinent issues such as the future of work in an increasingly automated world, the rise of climate-driven displacement, and the redefinition of global cooperation in a multipolar world. Delegates also considered how governments, businesses, and individuals can work together to ensure inclusive, sustainable progress in an era marked by disruption and uncertainty.

The International Science Youth Forum (ISYF) aims to provide high-ability students with ample opportunities to share and discuss their interest in science, technology and science research. Interactions with Nobel Laureates and eminent scientists foster greater awareness among the youth about the importance of broad-based knowledge, keen curiosity, relentless tenacity and a global outlook in the pursuit of science.

The theme for 2025 is “Innovation Unified: Towards a Better Future”. ISYF 2025 expresses the collaborative spirit and shared aspirations of young scientists in research and the discovery of the world. This theme highlights the importance of unity in the pursuit of novel ideas and groundbreaking discoveries. ISYF provides a platform to facilitate meaningful conversations among young delegates and to explore interdisciplinary approaches to solve global challenges confronting humanity everywhere.
