Event Details
Title: Introduction of the Indonesian Dutch Consortium on Sustainable FuTures (INUCoST)
Short Introduction:
The INUCoST consortium consists of the LDE (Leiden-Delft-Erasmus) universities and five Indonesian universities: Universitas Airlangga, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Universitas Indonesia, Institut Teknologi Bandung and Mulawarman University in Samarinda, Kalimantan.
In this session an insight will be given about the challenges in setting up such a consortium. E.g. on how to manage expectations, how to deal with (or submit to) the bureaucratic and administrative hurdles in both countries, and how it can contribute to more institutional collaborations. An update will be given on the concrete results delivered so far in terms of output and impact as well as planned next activities.
