For the CELG Student Research Awards, the awards recognize outstanding student scientific research projects in Economics, Law, Public Management and Policy, demonstrating rigor in thinking and research methodology, as well as valuable contributions to both academia and practice.

The awards recognize not only the final outcomes but also mark the sustained efforts of the teams throughout the process of developing, refining, and completing their projects. Behind every name announced is a journey of learning, experimentation, adjustment, and continuous pursuit of better approaches.

CELG Student Awards 2026 concluded with memorable moments, but the values created throughout the awards season will not end with the ceremony. The completed projects, accumulated research experiences, and newly raised questions will continue to serve as a foundation for students to develop their thinking, professional capabilities, and confidence on the journey ahead.

From research validated through academic dialogue to ideas transformed into solutions, CELG Student Awards 2026 once again demonstrated the spirit of research and innovation among UEH students in general and CELG students in particular. Each awards season may come to an end, but the values created continue to spread, paving the way for new ideas to emerge and new journeys to begin.
