Ask Expert 7: Developing Productive Research Culture: What We Can Adopt?

Bandung (30/9), the 7th #askexpert series by Research Synergy Foundation and Research Synergy Institute, has been held on title: Developing a productive research culture: What can we adopt? 

This webinar was held on Thursday, September 30, 2021. Participants who registered for this webinar reached three hundred and thirty-one registrants. Soeharto moderates the webinar; he is a PhD student at the University of Szeged (Hungary).

There are two speakers at the webinar. The first speaker was Oktoviano Gandhi, a PhD from the National University of Singapore and a Master of Engineering from the University of Oxford. In addition, he is also the director of Alva Energi Indonesia. While the second speaker, Vicka Kharisma, is a researcher from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He was awarded the bio-char energy award in Nepal by The Coca-cola Foundation.

Unlike usual, this time, the ask expert webinar was delivered in a semi-formal style where the moderator would ask, and the speaker would answer the questions posed. Questions ranged from experiences at each speaker’s university/institution to experiences of being a mother and a researcher at the same time.

Within forty-five minutes, all questions were answered with their perspective. Oktoviano uses a European perspective, and Vicka answers using an Asian perspective. It turns out that this geographical difference affects the view of research.

Finally, the webinar closed with the presentation of certificates for moderators and speakers given directly by Mrs Ani Wahyu as Founder of Research Synergy & Director of Research Synergy Institute.
