MoU between CoE EARE & Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI)

Following cross-visits between Politeknik Manufaktur Bandung Politeknik Manufaktur Negeri Bandung (PMS-ITB) and Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy, we are currently preparing a collaborative programme between CoE EARE and POLMAN Bandung and neighbouring SMKs. As part of this programme, we plan to : - sharing laboratories to increase practical activities, - working together on educational projects for students - offering internships, particularly in virtual and augmented reality.

We are pleased to announce the signing of a cooperation agreement in the form of a Technical Arrangement with the Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications génie civil et éco-construction en milieu tropical La Réunion. This agreement was signed on the one hand by the Director of Campus Eco-Construction et Numérique, Mr. Jean-Marc SPAMPANI. On other hand, by the Secretary Directorate General of Vocational Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, Mr. Saryadi Guyatno.

The CoE project has already equipped 125 SMK across Indonesia. Some of these SMK have the possibility to become Regional Center of Excellence and disseminate their new skills and share their equipment with neighboring SMK. This is the case of SMKN 1 Tana Toraja and SMKN 2 Komodo who became RCoE after a one-week on-site training. We would like to thank our master trainer, Pak Tubagus Kurniawan, who conducted the training in these 2 SMK. The teachers were trained in the use of the equipment received and we hope that the trained teachers will be able to make an impact on the surrounding schools.
