ITS always strives for internationalization by developing various collaborations with foreign parties, one of which is the French Embassy.
On January 26th, the French Embassy’s Science and Technology Attaché, Dr. Thierry Goubier, visited ITS to discuss research collaboration and opportunities for student mobility. From the ITS side, Prof. Dr. Ir. Mochamad Ashari M.Eng. as the ITS Rector warmly welcomed the delegations of the French Embassy.
Dr. Thierry Goubier mentioned that the French Embassy and ITS has previously worked on several collaborations, such as the French Indonesian Consortium in Engineering and Management (FICEM) and Indonesian Francais Institute (IFI) Surabaya. Moreover, ITS also has at least 11 university partners from France. Therefore, the French Embassy has been very enthusiastic to pursue more cooperation with ITS in research and student mobility.
Led by Dr. Astria Nur Irfansyah as the Senior Manager of ITS International Partnership, ITS invited the delegations of the French Embassy to take part in the campus tour to see numerous ITS innovations.
On the same occasion, Dr. Bambang Pramujati as the ITS’ Vice Rector IV for Research, Innovation, Cooperation, and Alumni also mentioned that ITS has been ready to accommodate international students from France to study at ITS with the international class undergraduate program. Both parties hoped that this visit could lead to further collaboration, especially in the fields of robotics, maritime, and other innovations.
