Amid the growing challenges of climate change and the need for more sustainable energy systems, cross-border collaboration is key to generating innovations that have a real impact.
Responding to this challenge, Global Project-based Learning (GPbL) 2026 returns as an international program that brings together the best students from the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) Indonesia, the Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) Japan, and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Singapore. This program carries the theme of energy transition with the aim of encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration in solving various real challenges towards a low-carbon future. Registration for GPbL 2026 is open from June 15 to July 10, 2026, with a series of online activities from August 7, 2026, and offline from August 27 to September 4, 2026.
GPbL 2026 adopts a Project-Based Learning approach, a learning method that positions participants as problem solvers through collaborative, real-world projects. In this program, students from the three institutions will work in international teams to identify challenges in the energy transition, analyze root causes, and develop innovative and applicable solutions. Through interactions with participants from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, the program not only enhances technical competency but also develops communication, collaboration, leadership, and critical thinking skills, which are essential components of 21st Century Skills.
During the program, participants will participate in a comprehensive series of academic and practical activities. These activities include lectures featuring international lecturers and experts, interactive discussions, industry and site visits, and group projects focused on energy transition issues. Through these experiences, participants will gain insight into the development of clean energy technologies, energy efficiency, industrial decarbonization, and various strategies to support sustainable development. Collaboration with industry partners also provides opportunities for participants to understand the implementation of energy technology and policy directly in the professional world.
One of the strengths of GPbL 2026 is the involvement of academics, industry practitioners, and industry partners in the learning process. Participants not only receive input from their supervisors but also gain practical perspectives on the challenges of implementing solutions in the field. Through discussions, observations, and project development, each team is encouraged to produce innovative, realistic, and sustainability-oriented recommendations. This approach makes GPbL a learning platform that connects theory with practice while expanding the international network of all participants.
Through Global Project-based Learning 2026, students have the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and innovate in a dynamic international environment. This program not only enriches their knowledge of the energy transition and low-carbon development but also develops the global competencies needed to face future industrial challenges. By combining project-based learning, cross-cultural collaboration, and the involvement of academics and industry partners, GPbL 2026 is expected to produce a generation of professionals who are adaptive, innovative, and actively contribute to realizing a more sustainable energy future.
