Waterloo Invited to Share Experiences on Virtual Stage in Indonesia

On 26 January 2022, Prof. Ian Rowlands – associate vice-president, international – participated in the Government of Indonesia’s Kick-off Meeting of IISMA Partnership Week. Invited as one of four presenters from amongst the Government of Indonesia’s approximately 75 global partners, Prof. Rowlands shared Waterloo’s experience in hosting 30 IISMA (Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards) students during the Fall 2021 term. More than 200 individuals – from across Indonesia and around the world – attended the two-hour virtual meeting.

During the next two weeks, connections between many of Indonesia’s top universities and the IISMA international partner universities will be made so that conversations regarding additional learning, research, and community collaborations can be undertaken. Led by the International Relations Team at Waterloo International, the University of Waterloo looks forward to participating in these conversations and to growing our important relations with Indonesia. For those looking for more information, please contact Waterloo International, in particular Suping Zhao, international relations manager (international.relations@uwaterloo.ca).
