    Most of its activities were held atthe Hebrew University's Edmund J. Safra Campus on Givat Ram and will offer the participants a substantial portion of basic science in the spheres of physics, chemistry, the life sciences, and mathematics from the best scientific minds in those areas in Israel and around the world.

    Headed by their faculty adviser, Mr. Lou Serafin Lozada of UP - Los Banos, the students are:
    1. John Keith Velasquez Magali 
    2. Shereyl Aguirre Daguinod 
    3. Rovi Angelo Beloya Villaos

    Under the motto “Stand Higher, See Further, Think Deeper,” the camp gives these 17- to 21-year-old future scientists access to Nobel laureates and other world-class scholars, and promotes international friendship and cooperation.
     
    In addition to the academic content, the lectures by leading scientists and the inspiring encounters in small groups with Nobel Prize Laureates, and the work on a project in multi-national groups, the participants will benefit from a substantial portion of the Israeli experience. The aim of the Science Camp's organizers is to expose the young guests to Israel's diversity – the ancient with its historic and cultural depth, and the youthful with its dynamic and effervescent character.
     
    The opening ceremonies were presided by none other than His Excellency, President Shimon Peres on Sunday, August 26. The students will also be given the chance to explore Israel's beauty with a tour of Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv during the conference.
     
    Three other Nobel Laureates were included on the program: Prof. Yuan T. Lee, co-founder of the Asian Science Camp; Prof. Makoto Kobayashi, chairman of the ASC International Advisory Committee and Prof. Roger D. Kornberg from Stanford University in California.
