Another Great Experience in Bali for 9 research teams with new proposals in the Energy Transition.
Where do we start, talking about this exciting GALESS conference in Bali in September 2023 ? A life-time experience again for our young GALESS researchers. The conference was set up and guided by Mr. Anton Malem Barus and Mrs. Monika Raharti from CYS Indonesia in cooperation with SMAN 3 DENPASAR . Words do not express our thanks in a right way. We simply “bow” while taking off our hat ….
Another GALESS conference carved in our minds forever. A new impulse for our research activities in the Energy Transition from students from Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Spain, Brazil and the USA was combined with working visits to a solar farm, local Government, Udayana University, workshops and many experiences more.
A comfortable stay at Werdhapura Village Center with nice, local food made this week simply mind-blowing !
Thank you so much organizers, supporting staff and students!
June 2023, Poland added great new initiatives in the Energy Transition !

Comments :
I was in Boston until Saturday for the conference at Beaver Country Day. Chai’s preparation was wonderful and everyone - students and teachers - were pleased. The students did a fantastic job with their presentations, and everyone was supportive and attentive. The students really loved the visits to Boston University and MIT. The tour of the new self-sustainable building at Boston University (which opened in January) was guided by a professor who was involved in the design team. At MIT, the two professors who led the tour and did a presentation were so generous with their time and recruited grad students to have lunch with the GALESS group to discuss what their projects, the university, etc., and answer questions. - Member GALESS AC -
Boston was a great experience. We appreciated the organization, everything we saw and the students loved every minute of it. Chai did an amazing job. -Guiding Teacher-
It has been a great week and even though it has been different to other conferences, everything has turned out great. - GALESS Director -
We had a great time in Boston. The program Chai came up with was very interesting and the students got to see the top Universities in the world. A great contribution was that the General Consulate of Germany in Boston, Dr. Sonja Kreibich, attended my team's presentation that day. This was very special for us. Also, all the participating students and teachers at the GALESS-challenge in Boston were so friendly and open-minded, which made it for me and my students very easy to make new international friends all over the world. -Guiding Teacher -
Top Experience ! My GALESS Certificate looks great and I can use this for my CV for sure - Student-
Sid Verma from Melbourne presented a great workshop about Design Thinking as a tool to structure and support research in the complex area of Energy Transition.

GALESS Xmas & New Year wish 2023
On Saturday August 27 2022, many countries were represented in the brainstorm meeting in Sitges/Spain. The organisation team from the Carmelitan School in Terrassa and GALESS & school-representatives talked during a full day meeting about new activities in 2023 to support students all over the world with important research activities. More news will follow soon!
Yesterday, the Dutch Minister of Health, Mr Kuipers received a first copy of the Research Book TiltShift challenge Medi Call (25 research-reports from 24 schools from all over the world) from a delegation of students, teachers and guiding GALESS team during an official session at the Ministery of VWS in the Hague. Our representing student-team with students, in this case from Germany and Spain, was delighted about the intensive discussion and all the serious interest in their research-work!
Mr Kuipers' comments:
Corona had turned the lives of young peole around the world upside down. That's why it is so important that these young people talk and think about it. It's about their future after all.
I have just met a few secondary students from Spain and Germany, who by way of GALESS (Global Alliance of Leading Edge Schools for Sustainabililty) have done a research based on complex dilemmas around Corona.
The students came to me to present their research reports from 24 schoolteams from all over the world.
The students I have spoken came with lots of interesting insights.
Therefore I will read the reports with great interest!
GALESS published the TiltShift Challenge (TSC) Medi Call-book with research reports regarding the COVID pandemic.
The book consists of 25 research-reports from the last TiltShift Challenge Medi-Call 2022. 24 schools from all over the world added their local research results about the pandemic in two "Thesis" topics :
Topic 1: Is the Covid patient more important than the non-Covid patient?
Topic 2: Releasing patents: Will it save millions of lives or will it kill or destroy the incentive to stop new COVID variants?
The TSC book will be offered to the minister of Health, Welfare and Sports, mr. Kuipers in an official meeting at the Ministery of Health, Welfare and Sports. in The Hague, The Netherlands. Date: August 18 2022, 10:00
(The book can be ordered by writing an e-mail to Mr. H .vd Linden / GALESS Strategy Team (h.vdlinden@galess.org)

We reached, today, an unbelievable new "status" in our TiltShift Challenge Medi-Call : All 25 reports of participating schools are "in". We ll deliver the reports to our Jury team.
Just imagine that we all worked together, our students, our schools, our communities and cross-country relations, in a very difficult pandemic setting first of all. And now we are facing on top of this an even more difficult situation where peace and understanding are "over-shadowed" in Europe and have a major worldwide impact on our young generation's mindsetting again.
This is the sustainable alternative for our young students. We are able now to share experiences with them in analysing, creative thinking and debating in a multicultural and respectful setting with a solid research-backup from all the participating teams in all different parts of the world. These contributions are special, impressive and hopeful and we embrace them in our GALESS team.
We wish all our student-teams a successfull debate on March 12 an March 13 in the first round of the GALESS TiltShift Challenge Medi-Call.
Stay healthy and safe,
The GALESS Strategy Team.
It has been a tough year for our young generation. The GALESS team, however, despite all the obstructions to meet each other in conferences again, has experienced your inspiration and contributions in our TiltShift Competition as a challenge to be there for you in 2022 again, and support young student initiatives as never before !
The TiltShift Challenge Med-Call has been launched since July 1. 2021.
