To follow up the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM)
Program in broadening scholar opportunities to gain more out-of-campus
knowledge, RDI was invited to strengthen its collaboration program with the
National Institute of Technology (ITENAS) Bandung. On July 1st, representatives
from both respectable institutions, Environmental Engineering ITENAS and RDI,
discussed further arrangements for the collaboration program. In a lively
discussion held via Zoom Meeting, RDI gave a number of options for scholars to
join in the collaboration, including: MBKM Internship Program; Final Research
Project; or Adaptive Research Project. In the research projects, RDI will allocate the scholars to related projects
that are currently being conducted, especially in the Water and Waste
Management field, which is one of the clusters in RDI. Hopefully, the
projects will give more options for
students or scholars who are applying to the MBKM Program. Further arrangement
for the collaboration was also featured in the discussion. According to the
plan, the collaboration will start in August 2021.
