On Friday 5th March we held the Resilient School Hubs Inaugural Meeting.
This event officially launched our project “Fostering Resilient Recovery in Displaced Communities via School-based Hubs”, led by our interdisciplinary team of academics from the UK and Indonesia. The meeting outlined the project’s goals and introduced the research leads from the universities. The event was opened with introductory greetings from Professor Dr Samsul Rizal, the Rector of Syiah Kuala University, Professor Dr Ir. H. Amar Akbar Ali, Deputy Chancellor for Development & Cooperation and Professor David Price, Vice-Provost (Research) University College London. This launch event highlighted the important role this project will play in placing UCL as a Global University and is truly collaborative with Indonesian stakeholders.
The meeting was made possible by Zoom and simultaneous translators who were based in Indonesia.
