Continuing our series of academic exchanges between the TUM SEED Center and the partner universities, Prof. Walter T. de Vries, Chair of Land Management at TUM School of Engineering & Design, paid a visit to our partners at the Institute Teknologi Bandung, in Indonesia, to meet our local team and learn more about the local SEED Living Lab.
Prof. de Vries had a tour at the Living Lab in Garut-Indonesia together with Prof. Dr. Ir. Suwarno, Dr. Fathin Saifur Rahman, Prof. Wawan Dwanto, and. rer. pol. Achmad Fajar Hendarman. The Living Lab comprises an energy infrastructure with an energy source of 14.76 Kwp Photovoltaic and 21.6 kWh VRLA battery, an inverter and monitoring system, a thriving hydroponic system, and a water purification installation.
Following the visits came general conversations and discussions around future business directions offered by the LL, social empowerment programs, and local and international students’ involvement in the Living Lab activities.
