Day-3 SKYNET Symposium and Presentation from MPPDAS Student in HSE Laboratory

SKYNET Symposium
It such a pleasure that today we are able to find new friends and new cultures in TWINCLE activities (Twin College Envoys) at Chiba University. In the TWINCLE activity on the day-3, we get an opportunity to follow the International Symposium Of SKYNET. The event is an international standard format about the  results of  research  related to the earth's surface, which has lately experienced a change in a negative direction.
The symposium was followed by researchers from several countries. Furthermore, the participants presenting result of  the research  they have done in their research area. One of the symposium participants was talking about the problem of extreme weather conditions, which among other factors involved that lowering the air quality. SKYNET itself is a way to see the condition of the surface of the earth from the humidity factor, surface temperature, and other factors which can be seen from satellite imagery.




After attending the symposium activities, we went to the campus lounge. Chiba University student has a positive and unique activities during the break time. The location of the performance is in front of the school cafeteria. Students shows their respective performance, such as break dancing, singing and dance in a group. Activities performed by the students get an incredible response from the audience. Appreciation was given by the diverse audience, many of those who sit in front of the mat measuring 8 x 10 m is to see the performance of their own friends. Not only that, there are students who are specifically record the events. The event was start at 12.00 and finished at 13.00


We as a guest students were very entertained by the performance. After resting for a moment, we continue the activities with Japanese students and attend lectures together. One of the students was the head of the Indonesian Students Association asked the lectures to give permission to us to join the class. 

Presentation by MPPDAS Students in HSE Laboratory
While the remote sensing group attending the symposium, other group was giving presentation to the supervisor of Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology under the HSE Laboratory, Prof. Machida (Machida Sensei), as well as to other master students. Four MPPDAS students presented about water problem in Indonesia, specifically in Jakarta. The feedback for our presentation was very good. Besides talking about water problem in Jakarta, we were also talking about the culture in Indonesia and several interesting and beautiful places in Indonesia. Since one of the students in HSE Laboratory will visit Yogyakarta, Indonesia under the TWINCLE Program in September, so that we feel like it will be interesting and useful to him to see an overview about Indonesia, especially Yogyakarta.

After that, we have a good lunch together with all the members of the laboratory. We tried the original culinary from Japan, which is Sashimi, and other kind of seafood. 



Today is again a wonderful day for us. Tomorrow will be our last laboratory work course!
