Governing Board Meeting (GBM)

The Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy received a visit from SMK 1 Sukatani Purwakarta, West Java, to our office located in BBPPMPV BMTI Kemdikbud. This visit was supervised by Mr. Didi Kurniadi, our master trainer, and the CoE EARE team. During the visit we had the opportunity to present and explain our facilities and laboratories. On this occasion, our trainer demonstrated the operation of the systems to explain the usefulness of the equipment. Thank you for your visit, and we hope to have inspired some vocations in these young people!

Last week, we had a pleasure of receiving a French delegation from Académie de La Réunion & Campus des métiers et des qualifications civil engineering and eco-construction in a tropical environment composed by Brault Laurent, DRAFPIC, Ranjit ZANEGUY, Head of partnerships (DRAFPIC Réunion/Rectorat) & Didier CALOGINE, Professor at ESIROI [École Supérieure d'Ingénieurs Réunion Océan Indien] Engineering School. The French delegation was warmly received by Cecep S. And his team at Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Ministry of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia) accompanied by CoE EARE’s Co-director, Manuel AZIBI, France Éducation international, Ministère de l'Éducation nationale et de la Jeunesse and Antoine Bricout, Educational Cooperation Attaché of the French Embassy, Institut Français Indonesia. The purpose of a visit was to discuss about the further actions of collaborations regarding the cooperation agreement that has been signed between the CMQ génie civil et éco-construction en milieu tropical, La Réunion and Kemendikbud. We were first hosted by Kemendikbud, with the first presentation of the DRAFPIC, Brault Laurent, that took us through following discussion about our further actions on vocational education. We would like to thank Cecep S., Muhammad Wildan Pratama, Dian Vita nugrahaeny, Bayu Tri Prasetyo, Fauziannisa Pradana Putri & Ahmad Syaiful Anwar for the support in the preparation of our French delegation who presented in Kemendikbud and to all participants for the fulfilling exchanges we had.

Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy is gaining recognition. The British Chambers of Commerce Indonesia was interested in visiting the CoE EARE facilities to explore energy access opportunities in Indonesia. However, for one reason or another, this visit was changed to virtual visit via Zoom. On 15 July 2022, CoE EARE had the opportunity to present the CoE Academy Project and the EcoStruxure XR Operator Advisor project for Renewable Energy equipment to delegates from BritCham Indonesia, Innovate UK, and several British companies engaged in the energy sector, such as Inclusive Energy, Blockchain & Climate Institute, CARNOT, dpSun, Ronsek Limited, ACELERON, Lind Electronics and STRAW INNOVATIONS LTD. We look forward to the delegates directly visiting CoE facilities in BBPPMPV BMTI Kemdikbud and building future collaborations.
