The Indonesian Embassy in Rome, Italy in collaboration with the Indonesian Language Development and Development Agency (BPPB) of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, is holding online course classes at the basic level of Indonesian for Italian citizens. A total of 24 Italian participants took this online course for about three months until May 2021. The course opened last Friday (26/2). The participants come from various backgrounds, such as parliamentarians, lecturers, employees, and students. This online Indonesian language course is the first program for the Indonesian Embassy in Rome. During the course, the participants will learn Indonesian for 50 hours of lessons, with teaching twice a week. In Italy, formal teaching of Indonesian has been carried out at the University of Napoli L'Orientale since 1964 through courses in Indonesian language and literature.

IPB University, Gadjah Mada University and Bandung Institute of Technology have collaborated with three universities in the UK within the framework of the UK-Indonesia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Sciences (UKICIS).

The signing of the collaboration related to the development of the corona virus variant research was carried out virtually last Thursday (25/2). The three UK universities which are involved in this collaboration are the University of Warwick, Conventry University and the University of Nottingham. Minister of Research and Technology / Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency, Prof. Bambang PS Brodjonegoro expressed his support and appreciation for the strong collaboration between six universities in the UK and Indonesia, as well as the Indonesian diaspora in the UK which are members of UKICIS. Furthermore, Prof. Bambang said that Indonesia learned a lot from research development in the UK and got references from United Kingdom Research and Innovation. He hopes that this collaboration can be an inspiration to increase bilateral cooperation in the fields of science and innovation.
