Program Study Food Technology at Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) conducted a working visit to Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in order to strengthen the synergy of the three pillars of higher education. The activity held at the ITB Campus involved the academic staff of the Food Technology Study Program at ITERA, as well as Lecturers and heads from the Chemical Engineering Study Program at ITB and Chemical Engineering at ITERA.
This meeting focused on the development of research collaboration, improvement of educational quality, as well as the development of the student exchange program (student exchange). The discussion was intensive and constructive, highlighting opportunities for collaboration across disciplines between Food Technology and Chemical Engineering at the two institutions.
In the meeting, both parties agreed on the importance of opening broader collaboration opportunities between ITB Lecturers and ITERA. The form of collaboration discussed includes:
- Cross-campus collaborative research to strengthen the commercialization of food innovation and chemical processes.
- Student mentoring collaboration, including co-supervision for the final project.
- Development of joint research theme
- Sharing best practices related to curriculum and the student exchange program
Both institutions are committed to follow up on the discussion through the implementation of a real program in the following semester.
