High-ranking visitor from Indonesia

Among other things, Finkeldey and Satria discussed possible cooperation in research (especially in ecological agricultural sciences) and academic exchange. "Indonesia is one of the most dynamic countries in the world; this also applies to science," said Finkeldey, who himself has maintained intensive contacts with IPB and other Indonesian scientific institutions for many years. "For the University of Kassel, cooperation would offer interesting research subjects and opportunities for changes in perspective."

Bogor, the seat of the university, is a city of millions near the Indonesian capital Jakarta. The IPB is one of Indonesia's leading universities with a focus on agriculture, forestry and fisheries, but also on natural sciences and economics, for example.
