• Passion has a role in leaders being able to inspire others.

    The KUSEF aims to highlight the incredible capability of students and encourage an unconventional, explorative approach to learning.

  • Leaders who create shared passion build emotional connections with others.

    Inspiring leaders maximise these connections to cultivate inspiring moments that ignite a spark in others. The spark results in action and passion sustains our endeavours post inspiration.

  • Stay motivated in research

    Motivation is an enthusiastic desire or willingness to continue making progress in a particular role, or to work towards a particular goal.

Humanities, Social, Science, and Engineering

Unified Science has been a consistent thread since the 1940s in Howard T. Odum's systems ecology and the associated Emergy Synthesis, modeling the "ecosystem": the geochemical, biochemical, and thermodynamic processes of the lithosphere and biosphere. Modeling such earthly processes in this manner requires a science uniting geology, physics, biology, and chemistry (H.T.Odum 1995). With this in mind, Odum developed a common language of science based on electronic schematics, with applications to ecology economic systems in mind (H.T.Odum 1994) (Wikipedia).
KUSEF invites the submission of broadly defined innovative proposals or presentations as well as Unified Science fields

Call for Submission of Work-in-progress Research

  • A work in progress research paper, often abbreviated as "WIP paper," is a document that represents an ongoing or unfinished research project.
  • Even though WIP papers are not considered final or fully validated research outputs, it's important to note that the WIP papers can be valuable for sharing and receiving feedback on ongoing research.
  • It is a common practice in academia and research to share preliminary findings, ideas, and ongoing work with peers and the academic community before the research is completed and finalized into a formal research paper or journal article.
  • Key characteristics of a work in progress research paper may include ongoing research. The research presented in a WIP paper is still in the process of being conducted, and the paper may provide insights into the research methodology, initial observations, or research questions being explored.
