Interest in this cooperation from Central Java Governor Mr. Ganjar Pranowo

Multidisciplinair team building

Succes factors

- You need only one motivated lecturer on each side

- You have to give the lecturer time to meet and let the cooperation grow (more than 4 hrs a week)

- Involvement of other private partners

- Make the cooperation part of the research agenda, instead of make a research agenda and then look for partners

- Don't aim for a prestigious university, aim for a trustworthy person

- Give time to meet and explore cooperation

- Find a win-win, it must be interesting for both parties

Perspective from Indonesian students who stayhere in Rotterdam.

- Is our organisation prepared for short staystudents?

- Financial aspects are a bottle neck forstudents from many non-EU countries
