Warm wishes from SEAMEO BIOTROP !

Still in the midst of the pandemic, I ponder the quote made by Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, who said "It is the long history of humankind that those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed". This quote is in line with what SEAMEO BIOTROP has been doing: Collaborating with other institutions, both at home and abroad as well as Improvising its activities and programs. In other words, SEAMEO BIOTROP does what it takes to keep excelling and prevailing in its programs and activities in the field of tropical biology. The keyword of it all is "transform".

This spirit has also been the theme of the virtual 2021 SEAMEO Congress "Transforming Southeast Asian Education, Science and Culture in the Digital Age", which designed to reimagine education through digitalization technology. Through this Congress, all participating countries shared and exchanged practical experiences, breakthroughs, new ideas and initiatives to transform education, science and culture in the new normal era.

As far as collaborations with other institutions, during the second quarter of 2021 SEAMEO BIOTROP initiated collaborations with the Mindanao State University on Bioenergy Development by organizing a virtual Focus Group Discussion (FGD) among scientists from SEAMEO BIOTROP and the Mindanao State University. Other collaboration was also developed with the INFOFISH. The collaboration aimed to enhance the visibility of seaweed tissue culture technology, to improve the welfare of seaweed producers in the Asia-Pacific region. Collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan and Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) resulted in a joint online Regional Technical Guidance on Application of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Agriculture.
