This year, PYC will hold its biennial flagship program, PYC International Energy Conference 2023, to bring local and global stakeholders, including but not limited to students, researchers, experts, governments and private sectors to discuss the energy sector in the world and Indonesia in particular. As a special pre-event, PYC will conduct  a paper competition with the theme of “Energy Security for a Sustainable Future”.

These energy resources could come from both new and renewable energy as well as fossil energy. The development and utilization of the energy will act as bridging energy during the transition period towards a sustainable future. In addition, it is also important for countries to follow sustainable development principles in planning energy security development.
