Reinforcement of Research Cooperation with Indonesia on Marine Fisheries and Earth Ocean

Jeju National University and the Indonesian government promote the development of the maritime and fisheries and earth-ocean fields of both countries through research cooperation and strengthening research capabilities.

Accordingly, JNU has established a global cooperation base through the establishment of the global research cooperation network.

JNU has signed MOUs with Indonesia's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Research and Human Resources (Secretary General Kusdiantoro) and the Ministry of National Research and Innovation (Chairperson Laksana Tri Handoko Kepala) for cooperative research and capacity building in the field of marine and fisheries, respectively.

Through the agreement, JNU and its counterpart have agreed to cooperate with a community-based fisheries organization for economically important fishery products using innovative aquaculture technology and areas mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Furthermore, they agreed to cooperate in academic fields such as scholarships as well as degree programs such as student/faculty exchange and training.

Through the agreement with the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Innovation, JNU decided to strengthen cooperation in the fields of the followings; △oceanography, △climate and atmosphere science, △marine earth science, △marine ecology, △marine bioprospecting, △marine biodiversity and conservation, △aquaculture and catch fisheries, △rivers and inland waters, etc.

The two organizations also agreed to promote joint research projects, symposiums, seminars and conferences on topics of mutual interest, exchange of scientific data and information, and joint publication of research results between the two countries.

Kim Eel-hwan, President of JNU, said, “This agreement has great significance as Jeju National University has directly established a cooperative system with a foreign government. We anticipate that practical projects will follow in the future.” and added, “In particular, Indonesia, which has recently been investing heavily in the marine and fishery sector, is paying attention to Korea’s research achievements in the marine and fishery sector and aquaculture technology.”

He continued, “Starting with Indonesia, the agreement is expected to serve as an opportunity for JNU to play a role as a bridge for human exchange as well as export and research cooperation in the maritime and fishery sector in Southeast Asia in the future.”

The event was attended by former President Megawati Soekarnoputri, former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Research and Human Resources Rokhmin Dahuri, Ambassador Gandi Sulistiyanto to Korea, and Chairperson of the Ministry of National Research and Innovation Ocky Karna Radjasa on the Indonesian side.
