Invitation to ICBS 2025 High School Poster Session

Dear Principal or Administrator,

We sincerely invite your school to participate in the poster session event for high school students organized as part of the 2025 International Congress of Basic Sciences (ICBS 2025). As one of the premier high schools in the world, your school is encouraged to recommend up to five posters for presentations, subject to a rigorous review and selection process.

The ICBS is the most esteemed international academic conference in basic sciences held in China. It is a platform for profound academic discussions and exchanges in three major fields: mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer and information science. Notably, the conference bestows the Basic Science Lifetime Award and the Frontier of Science Award, the two most prestigious international awards dedicated to basic sciences awarded in China. The conference is chaired by Professor Shing-Tung Yau of Tsinghua University, a renowned mathematician and recipient of prestigious awards such as the Fields Medal, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Crafoord Prize, the Wolf Prize, the Marcel Grossmann Award, and the Shaw Prize.

The inaugural conference of the ICBS was held in Beijing July 16-28, 2023. More than 10 Fields Medalists, Nobel Prize laureates, and Turing Award winners, as well as over 50 academicians from various countries, more than 10 presidents of the best domestic universities, and nearly 200 renowned scientists and scholars from China and abroad attended the opening ceremony. The conference featured over 500 high-level academic presentations and more than ten special events. Satellite conferences were also held in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hong Kong, attracting over 800 scientists from both China and abroad and over 400 participating students.

The high school poster session will not only provide students with an excellent opportunity to showcase their scientific research achievements, but also offer your school a valuable opportunity to be recognized. We cordially invite your school as one of the top high schools in the world to recommend up to 5 students with outstanding performance to participate in this event. After a rigorous evaluation and selection process by a carefully chosen group of well-established international scientists, we will select the top posters up to 100 for presentation at the ICBS. We will give the outstanding high school poster certificate and recommend them for participation in the 2025 Shing-Tung Yau High School Science Award Competition. Additionally, the first author of the posters and their leading teacher of each school will receive complimentary conference passes, which include free lunch and dinner, enabling them to attend academic lectures and interact closely with scientists. The transportation and lodging costs should be covered by your school.
