In an effort to strengthen international research collaboration, Pusat Penelitian Ilmu Sosial dan Humaniora Kontemporer, Indonesia (PPISHK, Indonesia) participated in a preparatory meeting for a research staff capacity development workshop, involving renowned educational and research institutions from Asia and Europe. This virtual meeting was made even more significant by the involvement of Abel Polese, Ph.D. from Dublin City University, Ireland, as the coordinator and initiator of the event. Partners from the EU/AC, such as the University of Latvia, Politecnico di Torino, Gender Centru (Moldova), and University of Zagreb, also participated in the discussion.
The funding for this activity is provided by the European Union through the PRELAB Scheme, signifying a serious commitment to supporting research and education development. Additionally, institutions from Asia, including the National University of Laos, KIMEP University, and Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok), contributed to this meeting. The presence of various institutions highlights the importance of cross-country collaboration in advancing research and education in the Asian and European regions. The workshop will involve participants from 7 Asian countries.
The planned workshop will be an important forum for exchanging ideas and experiences among researchers and academics from various countries. With support and funding from EU, this activity is expected to strengthen research capacity in Asia, as well as promote the integration of science and innovation between Asia and Europe. It is hoped that this event will open new opportunities for broader research collaboration and make a positive contribution to the global research community.
