Both teams competed with 31 other teams from 22 universities in 14 countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines, Laos, China, Hongkong, Taiwan, Japan, Spain, Germany, and South Africa.
Lecturer Ludhang said the two teams from UGM went through to the semifinals and the UGM 1 team ranked fourth in the final. The first place is Navamindradhiraj University, Thailand, followed by Chiangmai University, Thailand.
“Our students also won gold and silver medals in the individual category,” he said on Thursday (4/4) at UGM campus.
The UGM student winners are Maria Fransiska Pudjohartono (gold nobel) and Bernadeta Fuad Paramita Rahayu who earned silver nobel.
“This achievement became special because both students ranked first and second in the individual category, earning the best scores of all 99 participants who were divided in 33 teams,” he said.
Ludhang expressed his pride on the achievements because this was the first time the UGM team participated in an emergency competition, which challenged the students in emergency skills.
