The provision of lectures for S1 and S2 students, Environmental Health and Epidemiology, became the end of the joint supervisor activity.
On the occasion of the discussion with the leaders of the FPH, the potential for cooperation with Mr. Egawa who is a liaison for cooperation with the funding of JICA Japan International Cooperation Agency’s projects, an official development assistance agency owned by the Japanese government, was also opened. Another potential is the collaboration that has currently been carried out by the University of Sabah Malaysia, Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS), on the Malaria project. The potential for cooperation in research on Malaria – Monkeys around the Ibukota Nusantara (IKN), is a short-term activity that can be followed up. The possible international meeting is the JCC Joint Coordination Committee, which is an annual regular meeting. Follow-up visits are needed to sharpen the series of cooperation, which is a real step for the continuation of cooperation.
