PPI Tokodai (Indonesia Student Association Tokyo Institute of Technology) will held a paper competition for students currently studying in Indonesia entitled “Tokyo Tech Indonesian Commitment Award (TICA) 2016”. This year the theme for the competition is “Sustainable Development. This competition was held as a form of support and appreciation to the research activities of students in Indonesia.
This year, TICA will have 3 clusters that participants can choose from:
- Science dan Engineering
Scientific research in connection with continuous development from science and engineering perspectives. Students from the science and engineering study program are encourage to participate in this cluster.
- Management and Social
The management and social aspect contributed greatly in the continuous development. Therefore, we also provide opportunity for students from the management and social study programs.
- Creativity Enhancement
This theme is highly inspired from the Japanese Monozukuri spirit which literally means ‘to produce’. In this cluster, each participant is asked to describe their research result in connection to continuous development by producing a prototype. Participants from any study programs are welcome to register in this cluster.
