About ssys

The Search for SEAMEO Young Scientists (SSYS) is a gathering of young scientists all over the ASEAN region as a venue for sharing and dissemination of information on their scientific and mathematical research projects. It was initiated in 1997 and since then, has been held every two years with a specific theme.

SSYS aims to encourage young learners to apply scientific and mathematical knowledge into technological problem-solving activities to address sustainable development. It plays a strong role in encouraging and involving young learners in projects which will generate much interest in science and mathematics. It also aims to increase the awareness of young learners about the relationship between science, mathematics, technology, environment, economy and society. It aims to foster camaraderie and networking among these young learners through science and mathematics congresses, exhibitions and competitions.
