On January 19, 2024, one of the professors from the Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Prof. Ir. Irfan Dwidya Prijambada, M.Eng., Ph.D., was awarded the title of Osaka University Global Alumni Fellow. He had previously been appointed as a Collaborative Professor at the same university since 2015 until now to teach about traditional fermentation. The title of Osaka University Global Alumni Fellow was directly conferred by the Executive Vice President of Osaka University, Manabu Tanaka. This title is bestowed upon Osaka University alumni who are active in the field of international networking. During the award ceremony, Tanaka expressed his hope that Prof. Irfan would continue to serve as a bridge between Osaka University and Indonesia in the development of research and strengthen relations among Osaka University alumni active in Indonesia.
This synergy is a strong evidence to achieve the goal of SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
Congratulations, Prof. Irfan!
