Enhancing the Resilience Network
A new network for RDI has recently been established. On April 8th, 2015, in Bandung, a meeting took place to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Environmental Engineering Department of the National University of Technology (ITENAS) and the Resilience Development Initiative (RDI).
The RDI delegation present at this meeting included Elisabeth Rianawati M.Eng (RDI Director), Dr. Saut Sagala (Senior Researcher), Alpian Angga Pratama, Praditya Adhitama, Ramanditya Wimbardana, Efraim Sitinjak, Dodon Yamin (Researcher), and Andzani (Fellow). On the side of the National University of Technology (ITENAS), there were Yulianti Pratama, M.Eng (Head of the Environmental Engineering Department), Dr. Etty Hartati (Senior Lecturer of Environmental Engineering), Dr. Citra Padmawati, and Diah Ratnawati (Lecturer).
This meeting marks the continuation of a collaboration focused on knowledge research and development that has already been underway between RDI and ITENAS. As a result, RDI has now established partnerships with three major universities in Bandung (ITENAS, UTama, and UNPAD). This collaboration is expected to yield numerous benefits, particularly in terms of advancing knowledge and research for both institutions in the future.
