Brief history
For our inaugural cycle in late 2017 we partnered with the
Freshman Institute of FH Aachen in Germany and the non-profit organization
ASDAN China, allowing us to bring the event to a number of universities and schools within China.
Beginning November 2018, we are bringing the event to the Republic of Korea through the organization
KGSEA, as well as to the Republic of Turkey through
Irmak Schools in Istanbul, making it possible to reach high school students in these countries.
The most recent
Premier Competition took place in November 2018 for students in the following countries:
- China: hosted by ASDAN China; see the China-based PUPC page for details
- Korea: hosted by KGSEA; see the Korea-based PUPC page for details
- Germany: hosted by the Freshman Institute - FH Aachen (Geilenkirchen)
- Turkey: hosted by Irmak Schools (Istanbul)
A combined list of PUPC 2018 scoring and recognition results from all global sites is available

The sites established in previous years through PUPC are listed on the
