1st International of Sustainable Technology, Energy and Civilization Conference (ISTECC 2015) on 10th to 11th January 2015

MYKYOTO (formerly known as KUAM during this conference) with support of Kyoto University, Center for Southeast Asian Studies Kyoto University, Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water Malaysia, and University of Malaya organized 1st ISTECC 2015 in conjunction with 16th South East Asian Forum. The two days conference was organized at Furama Hotel Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur and University of Malaya to gather academicians in various fields from Kyoto University to discuss about sustainable aspects and its impact on Asian countries.

It was estimated 40 local and international participants involved to discuss and share views on the research progress related to green technology and sustainable development issues. The objective is aimed to promote Malaysia as an institutional hub and research networks among participants to connect ideas towards policy and reality from South-Eastern and Japanese researcher. This will expand information access for scientific community in Malaysia towards the scientific world, technology, social, economy and engineering community.

The conference began with the welcoming speech by Prof Dr. Hamdi Abd Shukor as the Chairman of KUAM as well as Vice Chancellor in Academics and International, University of Malaya. The speech was followed with the keynote speaker by Prof. Dr. Shiro Saka (Kyoto University), Prof. Dr. Masahiro Shioji (Kyoto University) and Prof. Dr. Dahlan Zainal (Malaysia).
