A competition to discover the best young scientist in their field will be held in October.

The China Young Physicist Tournament will be hosted by the School of Physics at Nankai University and is sponsored by the Polish embassy to China.

The winner will take part in the International Young Physicist Tournament.

Questions are given to the contestants six months ahead of the final. The October event will feature debates and arguments over approaches to solving problems and formulas arrived at.

Song Feng, a professor from the school of Physics at Nankai University, said that Chinese students may find a greater emphasis is placed on presentation skills, team work and critical thinking than they are used to.
