The\u00a0<\/span>virtual\u00a0<\/span>event,\u00a0<\/span>organized<\/span>\u00a0by the National Achievement\u00a0<\/span>Center<\/span>\u00a0(<\/span>Puspresnas<\/span>) of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, was held on September 10, 2020.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the competition, ITB won 5 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 3 bronze medals,\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>4 scientific categories<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This also puts ITB in 1st place for the 2020 KN-MIPA medal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The medal winners included\u00a0<\/span>Hudzaifah<\/span>\u00a0Alif Al\u00a0<\/span>Fatih<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Nasution<\/span>, Muhamad Farhan Husain, Muhamad\u00a0<\/span>Morteza<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Mudrick<\/span>, Ricky\u00a0<\/span>Linarto<\/span>, I Putu\u00a0<\/span>Prakasa<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Wiprayoga<\/span>, Alfred\u00a0<\/span>Patisenah<\/span>, Muhamad Alif\u00a0<\/span>Aqsha<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>Akeyla<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Pradia<\/span>\u00a0Naufal,\u00a0<\/span>Bakuh<\/span>\u00a0Danang\u00a0<\/span>Setyo<\/span>\u00a0Budi, Ridwan\u00a0<\/span>Rizki<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Surgawan<\/span>, and\u00a0<\/span>Stefanus<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the ITB students who won the KN-MIPA 2020 gold medal\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>the Mathematics field, Muhamad Alif\u00a0<\/span>Aqsha<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0said\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>in the Mathematics field each question was given a score of 0<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>10. A\u00a0<\/span>score\u00a0<\/span>of 10\u00a0<\/span>was possible\u00a0<\/span>if all of the questions\u00a0<\/span>were\u00a0<\/span>answered correctly.\u00a0<\/span>Alif was\u00a0<\/span>one of the students who got the second highest score, so he\u00a0<\/span>was able to take home<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>gold medal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This competition tests participants on the topics of real analysis, complex analysis, linear algebra, algebraic structures, and combinatorics with\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>problems that are arguably not routine problems like in lectures. Even in this competition, I tried to solve each of the math problems in each of the topics. There were 5 questions that were done in 4 hours,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>explained Alif.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He admitted<\/span>\u00a0that,<\/span>\u00a0even though he competed in the midst of a pandemic and\u00a0<\/span>the competition was\u00a0<\/span>conducted virtually,\u00a0<\/span>it\u00a0<\/span>did not reduce his enthusiasm to compete<\/span>\u00a0b<\/span>ecause for him, the thing that is no less important than this pandemic is how he can remain productive<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0even from home.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this\u00a0<\/span>impressive\u00a0<\/span>achievement, Director of the Directorate of Student Affairs (<\/span>Ditmawa<\/span>) ITB.\u00a0<\/span>Dr.<\/span>\u00a0G.\u00a0<\/span>Prasetyo<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Adhitama<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>S.Sn<\/span>.,\u00a0<\/span>M.Sn<\/span>. expressed his gratitude\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>the achievements of ITB students this\u00a0<\/span>year<\/span>. He also expressed his gratitude to all\u00a0<\/span>participants<\/span>, especially students and supervisors who worked\u00a0<\/span>so\u00a0<\/span>hard to prepare for participation in KN-MIPA 2020.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0<\/span>Dr.<\/span>\u00a0G\u00a0<\/span>Prasetyo<\/span>, this achievement is proof that students understand well the importance of the learning process which includes curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular<\/span>\u00a0activities<\/span>. “This certainly makes us all proud. Hopefully this achievement can inspire and motivate other ITB students to\u00a0<\/span>achieve more<\/span>.

One of the reasons <\/span>for the flooding is\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>reduction in\u00a0<\/span>water catchment area<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0due to construction process<\/span>es<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that use\u00a0<\/span>water-resistant materials.\u00a0<\/span>These\u00a0<\/span>material<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0prevent rainwater from being absorbed into the soil<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>resulting<\/span>\u00a0in runoff and flooding.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an effort to solve this problem,\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>2013 ITB Physics Engineering\u00a0<\/span>alumnus<\/span>, Anisa\u00a0<\/span>Azizah<\/span>, together with her team<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0under the guidance of Prof. Bambang\u00a0<\/span>Sunendar<\/span>, Ph.D., succeeded in creating porous paving blocks that can absorb water. The paving blocks that they have developed can be penetrated by water as much as 1000 mm \/ day and\u00a0<\/span>retain\u00a0<\/span>high strength\u00a0<\/span>through\u00a0<\/span>the help of chemicals.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>hese paving blocks have a strength of\u00a0<\/span>from<\/span>\u00a0K-200 to K-350<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0or equivalent to class B or A paving blocks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing the potential benefits of these products,\u00a0<\/span>Anisa and her team\u00a0<\/span>successfully commercialized paving blocks\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>were previously only laboratory products through a\u00a0<\/span>startup<\/span>\u00a0called Tech Prom Lab with\u00a0<\/span>the product called\u00a0<\/span>PoreBlok<\/span>. This product is available in 10 locations in Bandung,\u00a0<\/span>Sumedang<\/span>\u00a0and Tangerang\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>can be used for housing,\u00a0<\/span>dwellings<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and school\u00a0<\/span>yard<\/span>s<\/span>. In the process of manufacturing its products, Tech Prom Lab also collaborates with local paving block manufacturers\u00a0<\/span>through the\u00a0<\/span>transfer<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0technology to several factories in\u00a0<\/span>Tasikmalaya<\/span>\u00a0and Tangerang.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the funding process, Tech Prom Lab has successfully received a grant from a Japanese company,\u00a0<\/span>Leave<\/span>\u00a0a Nest, and the local government of Ota-City in Tokyo, which then collaborated with a local company, Seki Ironworks<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0in the design and manufacture of a gravel\u00a0<\/span>solter<\/span>\u00a0for the\u00a0<\/span>PoreBlock<\/span>\u00a0production process. This gravel\u00a0<\/span>solter<\/span>\u00a0machine is semi-automatic\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>can filter the aggregate into 4 sizes<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0which can be used both in the manufacture of\u00a0<\/span>PoreBlock<\/span>\u00a0and other building material products.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The machine\u00a0<\/span>resulting\u00a0<\/span>from\u00a0<\/span>this\u00a0<\/span>collaboration has been successfully developed and\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span>\u00a0exhibited at\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>he 9th Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference 2020 in Tokyo, Japan<\/span>, after which it<\/span>\u00a0was sent to\u00a0<\/span>Tasikmalaya<\/span>, Indonesia on September 11, 2020. “This aggregate filtering machine is expected to improve the quality and quantity of\u00a0<\/span>PoreBlock<\/span>\u00a0production<\/span>\u00a0b<\/span>ecause so far<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0the filtering has been done manually, so it takes a long time to get the required size<\/span>s<\/span>,”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>added Anisa.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he Tech Prom Lab has\u00a0<\/span>had\u00a0<\/span>many achievements<\/span>\u00a0since its inception<\/span>. Among them are being the Grand Winner of GSI 2018, Grand Winner of Tech Planter Indonesia 2019, Grand Winner of Tech Planter World Communication 2020,\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>Grand Winner of Tech Planter Southeast Asia<\/span>. It is<\/span>\u00a0also participating in the UNDP X 500\u00a0<\/span>Startups<\/span>\u00a0Impact Aim Project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite\u00a0<\/span>their many<\/span>\u00a0achievements, Anisa and her team are certainly not free\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0problems and challenges in developing the Tech Prom Lab. In addition to common problems such as team development, operation management, funding and\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>different backgrounds of the team, Anisa said that lack of experience was also an obstacle in developing this product.\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>The founders of the Tech Prom Lab are fresh graduates from ITB, both\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<\/span>undergraduate and postgraduate\u00a0<\/span>degrees\u00a0<\/span>and do not have experience\u00a0<\/span>or<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>connections in the construction industry, so\u00a0<\/span>it is harder for us to\u00a0<\/span>enter this ecosystem<\/span>,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0said Anisa.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>many challenges and obstacles, Anisa and her friends have succeeded in developing innovative products that are useful\u00a0<\/span>and not harmful to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the environment. When met by ITB Reporter, Anisa gave\u00a0<\/span>this<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>message about the importance of collaboration from the idea stage to implementation<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>We believe our goal to help solve the\u00a0<\/span>flood<\/span>ing problem<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>cannot<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>be done<\/span>\u00a0alone.

Dr. Wahid Omar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his speech, Prof. Wahid Omar said that this was the third time ITB and UTM held an MoU. The\u00a0<\/span>previous\u00a0<\/span>MoU<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>were\u00a0<\/span>signed in 2010, 2015, and 2020. In general, the MoU between ITB and UTM was carried out in the education sector<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0which included education and research, training, and\u00a0<\/span>faculty<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>lecturer<\/span>\/student exchanges,\u00a0<\/span>and also<\/span>\u00a0shared<\/span>\u00a0scientific material. \u201cIndonesia and Malaysia have been cooperating in the field of education for a very long time. I am happy that today we are updating the\u00a0<\/span>Memorandum\u00a0<\/span>of\u00a0<\/span>Understanding<\/span>, the implementation of which has been seen from the many ITB lecturers who are conducting postgraduate studies at UTM,<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>said Prof. Wahid Omar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In its implementation, collaboration between ITB and UTM can be developed through programs such as curriculum development<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0joint research and development, giving priority to each university to continue postgraduate studies, and lecturer\/student exchange activities such as study tours, joint projects, and various kinds of seminars.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ITB Rector<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Prof.\u00a0<\/span>Reini<\/span>\u00a0said that ITB and UTM have the same scope of knowledge in the engineering field.\u00a0<\/span>Reini<\/span>\u00a0admits that UTM is doing better in the international field, because UTM has 4<\/span>,<\/span>000 foreign students.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“ITB has less capacity for international students, because ITB is a destination for local students<\/span>\u00a0who\u00a0<\/span>always get the highest score<\/span>s<\/span>. But we\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>believe we\u00a0<\/span>should<\/span>\u00a0increase the diversity of students from abroad to enrich the academic atmosphere. So<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0we\u00a0<\/span>would\u00a0<\/span>be very happy to\u00a0<\/span>set up\u00a0<\/span>student exchanges from UTM”, explained Prof.\u00a0<\/span>Reini<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr.rer.nat<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Rino<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Rakhmata<\/span>\u00a0Mukti added that in the future, cooperation\u00a0<\/span>could\u00a0<\/span>be\u00a0<\/span>achieved\u00a0<\/span>by conducting joint KKN, and also collaboration in the research field with 34\u00a0<\/span>r<\/span>esearch\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>enters<\/span>\u00a0at ITB.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The agreement was implemented at the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN)<\/span>, which was<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>held in New York in September 2015. Indonesia\u00a0<\/span>was\u00a0<\/span>one of the 193 countries present and agreed\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<\/span>a document containing\u00a0<\/span>17\u00a0<\/span>points and 169 goals for sustainable development. The title of the document in use at that time was Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, better known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SDGs\u00a0<\/span>were\u00a0<\/span>basically a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0in effect from 2000 to 2015. In general, the SDGs provide development goals, targets and indicators<\/span>, and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>they\u00a0<\/span>have\u00a0<\/span>become a benchmark for every country to carry out sustainable development, namely by balancing economic, social, and economic aspects<\/span>\u00a0with<\/span>\u00a0the environment. The document is\u00a0<\/span>valid for a period of\u00a0<\/span>fifteen years,\u00a0<\/span>from\u00a0<\/span>2015-2030, which means that there are\u00a0<\/span>still\u00a0<\/span>ten years left<\/span>\u00a0for the SDGs<\/span>. The SDGs not only emphasize the role<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0of developed countries<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0but also\u00a0<\/span>those of\u00a0<\/span>developing and less developed countries. All\u00a0<\/span>countries\u00a0<\/span>have the same obligation to carry out responsible and sustainable development in accordance with the agreed documents.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ITB<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0as one of the higher education institutions in Indonesia<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0realizes that Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not only the government’s obligation but the obligation of all parties<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0including universities. With this awareness, in January 2019 the ITB SDGs Network was formed\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>was inaugurated by the Minister of National Development Planning (PPN) \/\u00a0<\/span>Bappenas<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday<\/span>, August 12,\u00a0<\/span>2020,\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>ITB SDGs Network held the first Webinar Series through Zoom and broadcast live on the STKSR-<\/span>Symphosis<\/span>\u00a02020 Organizer Committee YouTube channel.\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>ITB SDGs Network presented five speakers<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0the Head of SDGs\u00a0<\/span>Netwok<\/span>\u00a0ITB\u00a0<\/span>Dr.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Tirto<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Prakoso<\/span>, M.Eng.<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0ITB Regional and Rural Planning KK Lecturer Teti\u00a0<\/span>Armiati<\/span>\u00a0Argo, MES<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0Ph.D., Lecturer at Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science ITB Research Group\u00a0<\/span>Dr.<\/span>\u00a0Eng.\u00a0<\/span>Anjar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Dimara<\/span>\u00a0Sakti, M.Sc.<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0Head of SDGs National Secretariat Amalia\u00a0<\/span>Adininggar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Widyasanti<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>MSi<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>M.Eng<\/span>, Ph.D.<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0and President Director of Clean Power Indonesia Jaya\u00a0<\/span>Wahono<\/span>.

The\u00a0<\/span>ITB SDGs Network<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head of\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>ITB SDGs Network\u00a0<\/span>Dr.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Tirto<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Prakoso<\/span>, M.Eng.,\u00a0<\/span>stated\u00a0<\/span>that the basic rationale for the importance of\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>SDGs Network in ITB is because ITB is a higher education institution that\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0said to have\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0mastery of engineering science<\/span>s,<\/span>\u00a0so it\u00a0<\/span>plays a\u00a0<\/span>very important role in the achievement of SDGs. In addition, so far there has been no SDGs\u00a0<\/span>center<\/span>\u00a0in Indonesia that has implemented innovative technology products<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Most of the products of the existing SDGs\u00a0<\/span>centers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>fall within<\/span>\u00a0the scope of policy and community planning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“With the establishment of this\u00a0<\/span>center<\/span>, ITB hopes to help accelerate the achievement of SDGs in Indonesia, especially in terms of innovation and technology implementation. Based on Times Higher Education data in 2019, ITB\u00a0<\/span>has the potential to\u00a0<\/span>become a reference\u00a0<\/span>center<\/span>\u00a0for Indonesia and the world by focusing on ITB’s potential in the field of innovation and climate change,”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On this occasion,\u00a0<\/span>Tirto<\/span>\u00a0also said that the ITB SDGs Network itself emphasizes seven goals of SDGs, namely SDG 2, SDG 4, SDG 6, SDG 7, SDG 9, SDG 11, and SDG 17. The<\/span>re are many different<\/span>\u00a0activities carried out by the ITB SDGs Network itself.\u00a0<\/span>The<\/span>\u00a0Network\u00a0<\/span>acts as\u00a0<\/span>a facilitator for the latest ideas from alumni and ITB academic<\/span>ian<\/span>s so\u00a0<\/span>that Network<\/span>\u00a0can be implemented with the SDGs scheme in Indonesia, help ITB academics fund the implementation of research results with the theme of green technology in Indonesia, provide collaboration space between stakeholders,\u00a0<\/span>and verify\u00a0<\/span>technology that is has been implemented abroad to suit the conditions in Indonesia,\u00a0<\/span>among others<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prerequisites for Achieving the SDGs<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vice Rector for Finance, Planning and Development Ir. Muhamad\u00a0<\/span>Abduh<\/span>, MT., Ph.D., also gave\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>speech.\u00a0<\/span>In it he stated that<\/span>\u00a0many people have heard the term SDGs, but maybe they\u00a0<\/span>don\u2019t\u00a0<\/span>really\u00a0<\/span>interpreted<\/span>\u00a0it\u00a0<\/span>correctly,\u00a0<\/span>so tha<\/span>t<\/span>\u00a0it is only considered a\u00a0<\/span>thing\u00a0<\/span>of the past. “This is maybe [what] we have to keep in mind, what SDGs mean and\u00a0<\/span>how far\u00a0<\/span>we have reached,” said\u00a0<\/span>Abduh<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0<\/span>Ir.\u00a0<\/span>Abduh<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>\u2018<\/span>SDGs<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00a0is a big term and requires a lot of time, so it requires collaboration\u00a0<\/span>between\u00a0<\/span>various stakeholders to achieve it. The objectives of the SDGs<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0which are the main focus of ITB<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0must be related to the relevance of ITB with the SDGs itself.\u00a0<\/span>Abduh<\/span>\u00a0emphasized that in order to achieve the SDGs there are three prerequisites that must be met. The three prerequisites are technology, innovation and\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>value system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Technology is a tool that can be used to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. ITB has\u00a0<\/span>an\u00a0<\/span>advantages<\/span>\u00a0in this field\u00a0<\/span>because<\/span>\u00a0ITB can play a role from the technological side to achieve the SDGs. In addition to technology, achieving SDGs also requires institutions engaged in the SDGs sector,\u00a0<\/span>followed by\u00a0<\/span>collaborating and synchronizing. In addition, there must be a value system in which the community must view sustainable life as a value that must be understood, interpreted, and applied in everyday life. One simple example is\u00a0<\/span>the habit of always throwing\u00a0<\/span>out the\u00a0<\/span>trash in the smallest trash can. This value system should\u00a0<\/span>be\u00a0<\/span>introduced\u00a0<\/span>at<\/span>\u00a0a young age so that the values \u200b\u200bof a sustainable life are strongly embedded in each individual.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”ITB and National Museum of Japanese History Establish MoU in the Field of Digital Humanities” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:60|text_align:right|color:%232b304a” google_fonts=”font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1602771420069{margin-right: 30px !important;}” el_id=”materi10″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1602752209755{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-right: 30px !important;}”]BANDUNG, itb.ac.id<\/span>\u2014<\/span>Institut<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Teknologi<\/span>\u00a0Bandung (ITB) established a Memorandum of Understanding\u00a0<\/span>(MoU)\u00a0<\/span>with the National Museum of Japanese History (NMJH). The\u00a0<\/span>MoU<\/span>\u00a0for the three years of cooperation was signed by the Rector of ITB, Prof.\u00a0<\/span>Reini<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Wirahadikusumah<\/span>, Ph.D., and Director General of the Museum, Prof. Masaru\u00a0<\/span>Nishitani<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0separately on 18 August 2020.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This collaboration aims to build a relationship between the two institutions and open up various opportunities for ITB academicians. Meanwhile, the forms of cooperation include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span>Research exchange for students, faculty members and staff;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span>Collaboration of research, conferences, workshops, and publications in the realm of digital\u00a0<\/span>humanities<\/span>, databases, and the application of digital data in educational practice;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span>Participation in seminars and academic meetings;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span>Development of a digital museum for modern and traditional Indonesian artifacts;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span>Exchange of information and scientific publications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The museum, known as\u00a0<\/span>Rekihaku<\/span>, houses 200,000 important artifacts related to Japanese history and cultural values. Located in Sakura, Chiba, Japan, the museum was founded in 1981 as an inter-university research consortium and\u00a0<\/span>was\u00a0<\/span>opened in 1983. The museum’s collection focuses on the history,\u00a0<\/span>archeology<\/span>\u00a0and folk culture of Japan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
