The primary objective of this workshop was to provide invited/selected researchers fromn UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam in the space of Understanding the Impacts of Hydrometeorological Hazard in South East Asia and the opportunity to discuss ideas for possibility of research collaboration in the future. CABARET partners Professor Richard Haigh and Dr Harkunti Rahayu attended the workshop, along with 80 selected/invited researchers from UK and 5 ASEAN Countries.
An outcome of the workshop was a collaborative research proposal submission of University of Huddersfield and ITB in response to Indonesia’s Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia (Ristekdikti) and the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) call on Understanding of the Impacts of Hydrometeorological Hazards in Indonesia. This type of activity will help to extend the collaborations beyond the lifecyle of the current CABARET work plan.
