Meeting One

Today is our first official meeting with Chronos Kwok, our advisor. The meeting took place at my class, E65Q and all my team members were present.

Things that were discussed:
  • Our proposed freely chosen FYP topic: 'Identify eco-friendly methods and concepts and to evaluate the level of acceptance of events organizers and delgates'
  • Our understanding on greening of events
  • How to go about building on our understanding of green events in the world
Chronos mentioned that we need to "strengthen" our FYP topic as it sounds very "empty" and contentless. Our team realized that there are a lot of things we need to know about how have event organizers been neglecting the fact that they are wasting a lot of resources and actually there are methods that they can implement to reduce them.

At the end of the meeting, we decided to go read up more on greening efforts in the world and the problems that have been arising due to increase in events organizing before our second meeting to aide us in the discussion. To find more information of all that, we thought that National Library would be the best place.
