Higher education capacity building in eastern Indonesia: a briefing paper

摘要

This proposal builds on the existing teaching and research strengths, cross-institutional collaborations, research networks and goodwill already established among the proponent universities. In light of an increasing focus on eastern Indonesia and on collaborations that can support improved living conditions for this poorest region, as well as the existing links among regional partners, the time is ripe for a substantial project focusing on building capacity for higher education in eastern Indonesia. This paper captures resolutions arising from the Integrated Rural Development in NTT Workshop held in Kupang during 5-7 April 2006.
