PYC also collaborated with Indonesia Defense University (IDU) in a joint research related to Solar Home System application in the remote military bases. A field research was conducted in Sorong to collect field data on electricity supply and demand as well as electrification ratio in Sorong. PYC also collaborated with Santo Thomas Catholic University in Medan in a seminar on "Sustainable Energy Resources Management For National Defense".
The third PYC Knowledge Sharing Series (KSS) has also been conducted. With the topic of "Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Policy Outlook for Indonesia Energy Sovereignty", PYC invited Dr. Herman Darnel, Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana, and Dr. Alexander Wibowo as speakers, and Dr. Ryad Chairil as the moderator to led the discussion. The sharing session provided a platform for open discussions among practitioners and academicians on policies in the energy sector and the various impacts that follow.
Outside PYC's research work in the energy sector, there were activities in the social sector. PYC was invited to showcase a collaboration of Kolintang and Koto Music Performance with Soka Gakkai Indonesia. A preview show was held in which PYC also received an Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) award for its contribution in conserving Kolintang Music. The Kolintang - Koto team also performed a show in Tokyo for Indonesia's Independence Day as well as to celebrate the 60 years of Indonesia - Japan relations.

The competition was attended by 58 junior participants in which Mr. Utut Adianto gave an opening remark and Ms. Samantha Edithso attended the event as the previous year winner.
As for publication work, PYC has published another edition of The Indonesian Journal of Energy (IJE), IJE Vol. 1 No.2 (2018). The journal includes some high-quality, selected research papers that went through a rigorous double-peer reviewing process.
Another publication is a comprehensive book of "Ekonomi Energi: Teori dan Aplikasi", authored by Prof. Purnomo Yusgiantoro and Luky Yusgiantoro, PhD. The book launch was delivered in the celebration of the PYC 2nd Anniversary.
Finally, we thank everyone who supported and participated in PYC's activities during these past two years. We are grateful for all the blessings, and we are looking forward to another exciting collaboration and initiatives in the energy and natural resources sector.
