[edit] MESCORP 2007/2008
Following the success of previous MESCORP teams, MESCORP 2007/2008 has proposed to research on the topic "From MEGAWATTS to NEGAWATTS: Encountering Energy Issues In Malaysia. There are two main areas of interest in the research, which is the development of alternative energy and the energy efficiency and conservation measures. The selection of the topic is based on the need to sustain energy and find efficient ways to counter global warming.
MESCORP 2007/2008 was formed on August 2007. The research is more of a comparative analysis between the Energy Industry in Malaysia, Australia and neighbours Thailand. The team is expected to visit Thailand on January 2008, and Australia on May 2008. The MESCORP 2007/2008 conference is going to be held on July 2008 where the team will present their findings to the public.
