Young Scientists Fair and Contest is hosted by Danish Ministry of Education and organized by Danish Organization for Young Scientist. In recent years, Danish Prince Joachim Holger Waldemar Christian and Minister of Education presented the awarding ceremony and handed out prizes to winners or sent their regards by video. From 2006, CYSC has been annually organizing students to participate in Young Scientists Fair and Contest for 14 years. Every year, the Danish Organization for Young Scientist also selects students to come to China for China Adolescents Science and Technology Contest (CASTIC).
