Had the privilege to become one of the 40 students who participated in this international virtual exchange program. With the theme, "Human Security Development through Energy Science 2022," we explored solutions to technological, socio-economic and political issues, focusing on the Asian region's Human Security Development in the field of Energy Science.

Me and my groupmates are grateful for the First Place award that was granted to us during the final group presentation. We presented a power generation system, and the appropriate technological & economic policy frameworks for Year 2030 to 2050 for a theoretical nation. Our group called the country, "Republic of Eudaimonia," which is inspired by Aristotle's philosophy on "happiness."
