We were overwhelmed by the great response from various institutions and Universities, we had a total of 34 applications for this award. We screened all of the applications by interviewing them and understanding their technology. There were 4 judging criteria, passion, practicability, novelty and whether it can bring about change to the world. After multiple selections and screenings, we came to a decision that these were the 5 most outstanding applications. 

We have selected 5 young dedicated researchers who spent a lot of time devoting themselves to science and technology, looking to solve deep issues within ASEAN or globally. 

Leave a Nest strongly believes that by supporting young researchers and helping them to fulfil their research, we will be able to solve deep issues and find other pressing issues that require our attention. Leave a Nest will definitely offer more of such opportunities for the researchers and would love to collaborate with them for the betterment of the society and to gather more support from the research community as well. Once again, congratulations to all of the 5 outstanding scientists!
