In the framework of the Erasmus + Capacity Building MONTUS project, the 13 partners are pleased to meet again onsite in Da Nang for the 6th Workshop planned to develop research, cloud computing /big data/ artificial Intelligence in the environmental sciences and promote its education.

Indeed, all teams members are involved in the creation of a part of new master degree at the University of Engineering and Technologies in Hanoi, Vietnam : from the steps of the accreditation of the master, to the writing of the syllabus, passing by the organization of thematic workshop and practical workshop applied to the environment as that one : MONTUS delivers practical solutions deployed at three basic levels of cloud computing (infrastructure, plateform and software) in the partner countries with computer hardware funded by the project (installed in Hanoi, Phnom Penh and Pathum Thani). The issue of this workshop is also to find solution for publishing reference books linked to courses.

We’ll invite in purpose all the panels for a discussion on key use cases illustrating the master issues.

 Some project management meetings contribute also to improve the administrative and financial issues and processes related to a European project funded by the European Union, with theoretical presentations such as practical workshops and appointment with project managers from each partners. Partners from Thailand shared their best practices in the field of the management of project.

This project has heart to strengthen the links between education, research and environmental engineering. Beyond the capacity building in the field of education, our project has the merit to positioning our disciplines into a major issue of contemporary science.

As reminder, MONTUS is financed by the European Union One million euros in the framework of Erasmus + Capacity Building. This program funds « transnational partnerships between educational institutions and organizations, training and youth programs in order, promoting cooperation and development ». MONTUS funded for 4 years, gathered around the University of Toulouse 2 Jean Jaures, the National school of architecture (ENSA Toulouse), the International School of Information Processing Sciences (EISTI, Pau campus), University of Ferrara in Italy, university Brussels Vrije, Faculty of Engineering an Technology of Vietnam National University (Hanoi), the Hanoi Architectural University, the Nong Lam university of Ho Chi Minh City, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT – Pathumthani, Thailand), the Walailak University (Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand) and two Cambodian institution in Phnom Penh: the Royal University of Fine Art and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia. Three associated partners join MONTUS: French Agency of Francophonie (AUF – Asia Pacific, Hanoi), Meteorological Environment Earth Observation (MEEO – Italy), Institute of Agriculture and Environment (IAE, Hanoi) and HUPI cloud computing society (France). In total it’s 60 members who work for MONTUS during 4 years with height workshops alternatively in Europe and in Asia.
