Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) -- The Bandung Institute of Technology
(ITB) in West Java will host the International Students Energy Summit
(ISES) in 2015.
"This program aims to create leaders in the energy sector who are
committed to advancing the world towards a sustainable future," an
organizer of the event, Hilman Syahri Fathoni, said here on Thursday.
The event to be hosted by the institute in Bandung will begin with
an energy field trip that will involve traveling to a number of regions
in Bali province.
The summit will also include a Student Case Competition as a side
event in which participants will compete to develop biomass energy from
bamboo waste.
ISES is a biannual conference held by the Student Energy Organization and local universities, Fathoni stated.
This conference gathers students with different academic backgrounds
from all over the world to discuss global energy-related issues.
"At the conference, energy experts of the world will discuss a
variety of topics, including access to energy, investment in renewable
energy sectors, and ways to reduce carbon emissions," Fathoni pointed
out.
He added that connectivity in energy offers far more advantages than
simply illuminating houses or giving the community access to enjoy
energy.
This interconnectedness can unite ideas, open opportunities to share
new perspectives, and connect people from other parts of the world and
of different generations, Fathoni affirmed.
"ISES is an opportunity for students to come together and share
their perspectives and knowledge. This conference allows us to develop
capacity to overcome complex energy and environment issues," Executive
Director of Student Energy Organization Kali Taylor said.
Moreover, this conference proves Indonesia`s commitment to work
towards a bright future for the global energy sector as well as to gain
the world`s trust in the capability of Indonesian students to develop
energy, Taylor remarked.
The four-day summit has invited 660 student delegates from 100
countries and 70 national and international experts on energy and
environment. (WDY)
