Scientists and students from across the world will participate in an Asian Science Camp organized in India for the first time from Aug 17-19, an official said on Tuesday.

The Asian Science Camp aims to enlighten talented science students through discussions and dialogue with top scholars of the world.

"Eleven world renowned scientists from India and abroad, including Nobel Laureates Prof. Richard R Ernst (Switzerland) and Prof. Makoto Kobayashi (Japan) will be the speakers at the camp," said H.C. Pradhan, director of the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education.

Over 200 science students and 30 teachers from more than 20 countries of Asia will be participating in the three-day event, he said. This is the first time that the science camp is being held in India. The previous ones were held at Taipei (2007), Bali (2008) and Ibaraki, Japan (2009).
