Our Mission

Cover of dashboard

It all started with one vision in Feb 2025.
Now, we are a team of:
24 students across the globe.
9 UWC campuses.
Network of 30+ alumni.
3 ongoing projects and more to come.

Our goal is to promote a culture of appreciating and doing science at UWC. We create opportunities and resources for UWC students to pursue the sciences on both accessible and advanced levels, from a research conference accessible to all, to advanced mentorship programs.

Additionally, we are working on UWC's first multimedia research journal to highlight UWCers' impact in the sciences as an archive of students' high quality work in research and science communication.

Why Create This?

UWC students recently had the opportunity to take part in a 10-month course in the Neuroscience and Cell Biology, and Math and Economics, taught by Nobel Laureates Thomas Sudhof and Eric Maskin respectively. Over this period, the students have been able to explore college-level content in the select fields and have been working on term papers exploring the topics further.

Having experienced the difficulties and joys that come with the process, we hope to create a more accessible platform in which more students in the UWC community can also engage in scientific fields of interest.

UWC Science Conference

Spanning 5 days on Zoom, YouTube and WeChat livestream, we invited alumni speakers in science and technology working in research, industry and entrepreneurship to deliver short inspiring talks on their career and work.
