00:00:14.475 --> 00:00:18.135
Now Aika began as a project between Warwick here in the UK

2
00:00:18.395 --> 00:00:22.095
and Monash University in Melbourne, Australia back in 2013

3
00:00:22.515 --> 00:00:25.055
as part of the Monash Warwick Alliance.

4
00:00:25.775 --> 00:00:28.535
Students taking part in ICA, communicate their ideas

5
00:00:28.725 --> 00:00:32.455
through lots of different kinds of methods, theme sessions,

6
00:00:32.485 --> 00:00:33.855
post sessions, presentations,

7
00:00:33.855 --> 00:00:35.175
and lots of other alternatives.

8
00:00:35.195 --> 00:00:37.775
And then think about how to get that across

9
00:00:38.115 --> 00:00:39.655
to the global audience.

10
00:00:39.725 --> 00:00:40.775
They're presenting to

11
00:00:41.115 --> 00:00:43.495
The undergrads who get to be involved in research.

12
00:00:43.915 --> 00:00:45.415
Um, they're setting themselves up

13
00:00:45.555 --> 00:00:48.935
and you are setting them up, uh, to be able

14
00:00:48.935 --> 00:00:50.055
to be change makers

15
00:00:50.055 --> 00:00:52.335
and have that confidence going into what they wanna do next.

16
00:00:52.435 --> 00:00:54.175
And that's just a position that

17
00:00:54.735 --> 00:00:57.135
I wouldn't have even considered when I was an undergrad.

18
00:00:57.595 --> 00:01:01.055
Um, and so to be here to be part of the alliance that, um,

19
00:01:01.115 --> 00:01:03.095
is contributing to that is such an honor.

20
00:01:03.195 --> 00:01:04.655
What's also been great has been

21
00:01:04.655 --> 00:01:07.295
to hear from students from Brazil to Singapore to Australia

22
00:01:07.595 --> 00:01:08.935
and to discover common research

23
00:01:09.135 --> 00:01:10.255
interests and build connections

24
00:01:10.715 --> 00:01:14.295
To see how undergraduate research can be embedded

25
00:01:14.515 --> 00:01:16.815
internationally and be inclusive

26
00:01:17.435 --> 00:01:19.895
and, um, provide such opportunities for the students

27
00:01:20.555 --> 00:01:23.335
to engage in research and to share their research

28
00:01:23.515 --> 00:01:26.255
and to gain confidence in presenting their research

29
00:01:26.315 --> 00:01:27.775
to an international audience.

30
00:01:28.205 --> 00:01:29.415
It's been been fantastic.
