6日上午，NASPAA模擬教育主任Supriya Golas宣布亞洲分賽開幕，清華大學(xué)公共管理學(xué)院教授藍(lán)志勇、孟加拉南北大學(xué)教授Sk. Tawfique M. Haque、NASPAA執(zhí)行主席Laurel McFarland分別致歡迎辭，接著由弗吉尼亞大學(xué)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力模擬和競(jìng)賽中心老師Adam Roux介紹模擬軟件的使用方法。
隨后，20個(gè)小組利用模擬軟件進(jìn)行了兩輪激烈的比拼，評(píng)委綜合考慮模擬分?jǐn)?shù)、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作、決策機(jī)制、數(shù)據(jù)分析、溝通交流等維度，選出得分最高的四個(gè)小組進(jìn)行了匯報(bào)展示和答辯。

最終，清華大學(xué)公共管理學(xué)院EMPA香港政務(wù)人才項(xiàng)目碩士生謝珮琪所在隊(duì)伍World 1, Malldaff獲得亞洲分賽冠軍，將會(huì)在近日參與全球總冠軍的角逐；MPP-SDG項(xiàng)目碩士生查皓所在隊(duì)伍World 3, Malldaff獲得亞軍。
亞洲分賽冠軍隊(duì)伍
此次是清華大學(xué)公共管理學(xué)院第四次派出學(xué)生參加NASPAA-Batten學(xué)生模擬大賽。2017年，該賽事首次在亞洲舉辦，清華大學(xué)公共管理學(xué)院成為亞洲首家承辦該比賽的院校。2018年，學(xué)院選派三名學(xué)生參加于對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)大學(xué)舉辦的NASPAA-Batten學(xué)生模擬大賽亞洲分賽，留學(xué)生Trent S. Lawrence所在隊(duì)伍獲得本賽區(qū)一等獎(jiǎng)。2019年，大賽首次允許各個(gè)學(xué)校組成自己的代表隊(duì)參賽，學(xué)院派出由來(lái)自不同國(guó)家的五名學(xué)生組成的國(guó)際化代表隊(duì)前往韓國(guó)發(fā)展研究院公共政策與管理學(xué)院參賽，表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異。
NASPAA模擬教育主任Supriya Golas指出，希望通過(guò)基于模擬工具的學(xué)習(xí)方式，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生將課堂中學(xué)到的知識(shí)應(yīng)用到模擬現(xiàn)實(shí)中，幫助學(xué)生做好知識(shí)和能力的儲(chǔ)備，更好地應(yīng)對(duì)下一個(gè)全球重大事件，無(wú)論是流行病危機(jī)還是氣候危機(jī)。

【部分參賽選手感言】
賽后，同學(xué)們表示為期一天的模擬大賽緊張而有趣，快速熟悉政策模擬工具的使用非常具有挑戰(zhàn)性，但能夠站在應(yīng)對(duì)公共危機(jī)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和決策者角度思考全球疫情問(wèn)題，讓他們獲益良多，此外通過(guò)和其他同學(xué)的同臺(tái)競(jìng)技和交流，充分鍛煉了溝通談判、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作、快速應(yīng)變和專業(yè)知識(shí)的應(yīng)用能力。
謝珮琪（2020級(jí)EMPA香港政務(wù)人才項(xiàng)目碩士生）：
Joining the NASPAA-Batten Simulation Competition 2021 on behalf of Tsinghua has given me a timely opportunity to reflect on what I learnt at school and from the actual COVID-19 pandemic. My team and I are honored to be awarded as Champion in the Asia round held on March 6, 2021.
All five members of my team come from different places - China, New Zealand, the United States and Bangladesh. We benefitted from the wide range of pandemic responses used in our home countries and based on these knowledge, together we devised an optimal strategy for the competition.
Teamwork and communication skills have significantly helped my team at the competition, which was held completely online. With healthy debates, we updated our decisions quickly to cope with changes in the simulation rounds. This is an important takeaway for us as aspiring future public sector leaders.
查皓（2019級(jí)MPP-SDG項(xiàng)目碩士生）：
The simulation competition impressed me with the dilemma faced by the government, which is the tough trade off between epidemic control and economic recovery. Besides, there was a darkest period when we had enacted all possible policies to prevent the spread of epidemic and stimulate the economy, but the total deaths kept increasing and the economy got worse. As a prime minister then, I felt extremely helpless and my only hope was that the vaccine could be developed ASAP. This bitter experience informed me of the significance of vaccination for saving people and the world from epidemic.
吳海銘（2019級(jí)MPP-SDG項(xiàng)目碩士生）：
Different from others, NASPAA-Batten simulation competition is a special contest based on simulation and random grouping, which offers public policy students practical opportunities to be the national-level decision makers for simulated countries. Closer to our daily life than ever, this year’s topic is centered around pandemic. The theoretical model of "Impossible Triangle" that I used to learn from papers has been demonstrated vividly this time in the simulation - how to balance the support rate, the economic growth and the public health at the emergency time. Though enjoying making decisions at the macro level, we have been nervous throughout the competition since each and every minor policy change may cause drastic influence on the data which implies national stability and prosperity. From my perspective, comprehensive decision making not only calls for professional knowledge and experience in specific areas, but also involves the wisdom of bargaining and negotiation among departments and among professionals with diversified cultural and academic backgrounds. Thanks NASPAA and Tsinghua University for offering this fantastic opportunity of "learning from doing".
Anne-Sofie Meyer Nissen（2020級(jí)MPP-SDG項(xiàng)目碩士生）：
I am grateful for the memorable experience of working in a dynamic, international and engaging conference. My views were challenged in a constructive manner as we all sought collaboration and understanding towards a common goal.
