On Friday (25/8), the EUROMATH SCINCE ASIA 2023 Conference commenced with the opening ceremony at the main conference hall of the Jeju Aerospace Hotel, in Jeju, South Korea. The ceremony presenter, Mr. Thomas Economou, called up on the stage, the president of THALES Foundation and founder of EUROMATH, Prof. Gregory Makrides who spoke about the future of education and how STEAME can play a major role in its advancements over the next years, considering also the new available technologies that may further enhance and improve the learning process.

Continuing with the first day of the EUROMATH SCIENCE ASIA 2023 Conference, middle and high school students took the stage and presented their topic, individually or as a team, in the context of the Mathematics and Science Presentation Competition. It might be a new continent for the conference, but for yet another EUROMATH and EUROSCIENCE, the topics were met with great interest by the audience.

The setting for the Mathematics and Science presentation competition did not change much in relation to previous EUROMATH and EUROSCIENCE conference, meaning that the students had the stage to their selves, for 15 minutes, using a presentation and a projector, to present their topic. For all competitions, this is not only done in front of the conference audience but also in front of a jury committee, whose members carefully watch and evaluate multiple aspects and skills related to presenting a math or science topic. It is therefore the input of this jury that will, at the end, determine the “podium” of winners.

Some indicative topics of students’ presentations were:

  • Gene therapy, its use in our life and potentials
  • Protective Effect of EGCG Against SH-Induced Cell Death in a Human Glial Cell Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
  • “Formal Language Recognition and Computation: An Overview of Automata Theory”
  • Vectors In 3D Space
  • The Impact of the Special Theory of Relativity on our World
  • Mathematical principles used to find criminals by fingerprints
  • AI Case Study of An Ai Prediction Models in Legal, Medical Bioinformatics Fields
  • Autonomous Robots for Marine Debris Collection
  • Exploring The Potential Of K-Means Algorithm for Outlier Detection In An Information Society
  • Application of Mathematics in Space Exploration
  • Drug Carriers Target Cancer Cells
  • Viruses in Therapeutic Treatments and Biotechnologies
  • Statistics and Foreseeing our Future on Viruses
  • Electric cars and Carbon Footprint
