Embrio International Symposium
EMBRIO (Enhancing Marine Biodiversity Research in Indonesia) is one of CoE (Center of Excellence) at IPB which coordinated by FPIK. EMBRIO promotes scientific and innovation based on marine biodiversity resources and to strengthen counteraction against marine biodiversity. EMBRIO has been established since 2013. EMBRIO aims to build an Indonesia wide, multidisciplinary research and training network with strategic international partners to become a center of scientific excellence on Indonesia marine biodiversity.
The vision of EMBRIO is to become a central gate into Indonesia for international scientists and research institutions seeking Indonesian collaboration. Mission of EMBRIO is understanding, protecting, rehabilitating, and sustainability of Indonesian marine biodiversity. The scope of EMBRIO activities are international symposium, international mini workshop, field course, research collaboration, visiting lecture, student exchange. International partners of EMBRIO 2013 are Victoria University, University of Oldenburg, Germany, ZMT Germany, Kanzler University of Germany, Newcastle University. New partners of EMBRIO in 2017 including Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, National University of Singapore, James Cook University, and National Institute of Technology, Wakayama College, Japan.
This year, EMBRIO brings out some activities such as field course that has been done in Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi and Seribu Islands on September 2017. Today’s symposium is one of ongoing EMBRIO’s agenda and expected to accomodate scientists and institutions involved in research and education collaboration.
For our university, Bogor Agricultural University, this event is an important l event. Since 2014, our university has declared 3 main focuses of fields in research and education: Agriculture, Ocean and Biosciences.It is part of our tasks to serve and provide scientific methods and tools in related sciences and technologies in marine biodiversity.
