partners, the current host-country of APCChE, and the Philippines partners, the next
host-country of APCChE. We would like to leverage the popularity and convenience of
web conferencing tools, in promoting collaborative studies aiming at various efforts to
achieve SDGs, for the students in the Asia-Pacific region. We will elaborate on the
contributions of chemical engineering to the SDGs by holding group discussions with
participants from industry, academia, and the public sectors.

General Participation
This special symposium will be held in a hybrid format. We plan for it to be opened to
the public (including high-school students and their parents) without a participation
fee (online only via Zoom), to emphasize chemical engineering’s commitment to
society and promote partnerships with different fields and sectors.

For online participation (free of charge), please register from:

Research Proposals for International

Students’ Collaborative Studies
We plan to recruit 25 students from various countries, making five working groups
with five students each. Each group will be presented with a specific theme related to
achieving SDGs with chemical engineering. Students will then work on the proposals
as a response to the challenge. One to two student advisors will be provided for each
group to guide students in applying problem-solving methods. Participating students

must actively discuss, weekly or biweekly, for four months from April to July via web
conferencing tools. The expected effort from students is one day per week. Finally, we
will consider a journal article submission given an outstanding result (note1). Or, we
will consider a research fund application for an international joint project from each
country.

Example themes include “Design and propose a sustainable infrastructure to deal with
the volcano eruption disaster in Tonga”, “Design and propose a resilient decentralized
renewable energy and water supply systems”, “Design and propose a multi-faceted
measure against marine plastic pollution”, etc. We would encourage the students to
take the initiative in deciding a theme not limited to these suggestions with the
support of group advisors (note2).
