The DTU IDEERS team, the only Vietnamese participants, defeated forty-three competitors in the undergraduate category, taking top honors in their presentation entitled “Introducing and Demonstrating Earthquake Engineering Research in Schools” in Taiwan from September 20th to 22nd.

The IDEERS program is held every September by the Taiwan National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE), in collaboration with the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) and the Asia-Pacific Network of Centers for Earthquake Engineering Research (ANCER). The objective is to promote earthquake engineering and seismic protection education and encourage students to participate in a creative scientific competition.There were 110 teams of high-school students, undergraduates and post-graduates from 10 countries in the Asian-Pacific region, including Singapore National University, the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST), National Taiwan University, Pusan National University (Korea), the University of Science and Technology of Indonesian and others.

According to Dr. Nguyen Chien Thang of the DTU Center for Research and Development, four students from the DTU Faculty of Architecture and Construction, Ha Anh Tuan, Dang Quoc Dao, Luu Anh Tin and Ho Thu Thanh Thu, outperformed the other 43 other teams in the undergraduate category with a score of 139, 14 points ahead of the Taiwanese runners-up. With wooden poles and sticks, glue and rubber bands, the team made a perfect house model weighing 460 grams, which could withstand an earthquake of 9 on the Richter scale.

This was DTU’s first victory, after placing seventh in 2012 and third in 2013.
