Galuh Estu Nastiti explained that the International Competition was an annual event organized by the Malaysian State Central Library together with MNNF Network Malaysia and several other international partners. This competition has attracted young inventors from ASEAN countries. There were 4 category to pick, namely Classed A1: Professional Education and Social Science, Classed A2: Pre-professional Science, Engineering and Technology, Classed B1: Higher Institution Student (Social Science), B2: Higher Student Institution (Technological Science) and Classed C: School Students. Team from UNY participated in Classed B2: Higher Institution (Technological Science) category under the specification of invention and innovation. This spot was quite challenging because many participant brought quite sophisticated work based on advanced research and acknowledged with certain awards and patent rights.

“The competition is set under exhibition and presentation concept where each invention gets a table with a jury, a question and answer presentation in English. Each team must provide posters, brochures, articles and invention products. Judges from various countries will visit each table and ask questions to the Inventor. The work description, product excellence, implementation and patent matters become mandatory jury questions,” he added(Titin/Witono)
