Dear friends,
The Sustainable Island Development Initiatives (SIDI) Week 2013, 13-18 November 2013, has just been completed. Two and a half days of meetings and two/three days of travel and visit by car, boat and airplane to Poteran and Maratua Islands have increased our understanding what a small island means, what being remote in the middle of nowhere means, what an interaction between a small boat and some one or two meter wave heights mean, what an exotic miracle plant means.
This SIDI Week has been organized under SR&DT-SI Program (Students'
Research & Development Team for Small Islands) funded by DAAD. Your
valuable contribution is highly appreciated. We are very grateful for your active participation and enthusiasm.
Dear friends,
This SIDI Week has served as a stepping stone towards energizing our
effort to convert the talks to the deeds, to convert ideas into actions, to convert imagination into reality.
Look forward to hearing your immediate plans, your ideas, your stories,
your progresses and your approaches, including the unusual ones. Those would enrich our website www.ftk.its.ac.id/sidi, to be updated.
See you again in February/ March 2014!
Thank you, again!
Setyo
