Seven Students Being ITB Delegates in Conference of Science and Technology in London
BANDUNG, itb.ac.id - Seven students of ITB became representative of Indonesia as a participant in The 55th London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) 2014 at Imperial College, London. The event was held from Wednesday (23/06/14) to Saturday (06/08/14). They are Alitta Yelsya Junanda (Math 2010), Puspa Aninda Paramita (Aeronautics & Astronautics 2010), Clarissa Olivia Susanto (Chemical Engineering 2011), Evarina Engelina (Geodetic Engineering 2011), Giofanny Chintia Rahmi (Industrial Engineering 2010), James (Civil Engineering), Sandra Dwiananda (Math 2011). During these two weeks, they present the results of their research and follow the lectures given in the field of science and technology that is being developed in the world. 
LIYSF is a place for young scientists and engineers aged 17-21 years to publish their research in the international arena. It aims to increase knowledge about the younger generation of science and technology in order to dipalikasikan in human life. Hopefully, all the problems that exist in the world, especially with regard to science and technology can be answered by the research conducted by this LIYSF participants. This year, LIYSF theme is "Eureka-Breakthrough and Development in Science".
"To be able to be delegates this LIYSF ITB conference, we must follow the selection process of Curriculum Vitae (CV) as well as abstracts of our research," Clarissa said. Of the selection process, 7 people elected who will represent ITB and alsoIndonesia to convey the results of their research. "We have a seven different title of studies. I'm doing research on hydrogen storage. Reason I took the theme of hydrogen storage is because it is not only interesting but also a fuel cell technology in the emerging world," Clarissa said.
Indonesia is one of the 125 countries that follow the conference LIYSF 2014. In addition to publishing the results of their research and attend college science and technology, they are also involved in the activities of cultural exhibitions each country. "The first day was the opening, there was a culture exhibition from our respective countries. We were demonstrating Indonesian typical by showing kebaya or batik," Clarissa said. By exhibiting the typical Indonesian clothing,kebaya and batik, outside the community hoped to admire and acknowledge that the fabric is typical of Indonesia.
Science and technology is a dynamic science, develops rapidly along with the development of the times. "By engaging directly in this LIYSF conference, we became aware of the science and technology that is being developed in the world and can provide encouragement for young researchers, especially in Indonesia to continue to work and be the main solution to the problems of the Indonesian nation," Clarissa lid.
