What does sustainable work and research mean to you? (not only in the ecological context)

I feel that sustainable work for me means communicating and exchanging knowledge with others, being creative and keeping an open mind, and most importantly keeping the balance between work and life. By sustainable research, I believe it is a process designed to link up different expertise and knowledge from different fields.

 

In your opinion, what needs to be done to make the world more peaceful?

We need to promote cross-cultural communication, trying to accept that there are differences between us and ensure everyone has the opportunity to receive an education. Although the peace process takes a lot of time, it starts when we look at our own behaviours and dispel misunderstanding, especially the attitude we treat others, and the way we talk to everyone in our country and outside our country.

 

How do you plan to share the results of the forum in a lasting way?

I will plan to share the result and knowledge I have gained in the forums through my group meetings and social media.

 

Which animal would you consider the better human?

Giant panda.
