Prof. Kim Oanh and her PhD student, Mr. Sompoke Kingkaew attended the second workshop of MONTUS project held from 2nd to 7th September 2019 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which followed the first workshop held in Toulouse in February 2019.
In the second workshop, the project partners have worked together to develop the syllabus for a dedicated new Master’s Program – “Innovative Spatial Integrated technology for environmental Sustainability (INSIGHTS)”.
The INSIGHTS Master Program will be opened in Hanoi and Vietnam. The program is designed to achieve the MONTUS’s ambition of development of research on cloud computing in the environmental sciences and promote its education in the South-East Asian countries partners.
The objectives of the INSIGHTS Master’s Program are to train the students to have basic and advanced knowledge related to environmental sustainability and innovative spatial integrated technologies to manage the environmental issues effectively; and to have the ability to analyze the driver and pressure from environmental situations, detecting and defining problems which will enable them to monitor and observe the environmental status and to evaluate the socio-economic, public health and natural impacts.
During the workshop, Prof. Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh designed the syllabus for the subject “Air Quality Management” which will provide students the knowledge and skills to apply monitoring, inventory, modelling tools and cloud computing in air quality management. She also contributed to the steering committee meeting to plan for the next 3 MONTUS workshops in 2020.
