DReAM is international student summer program initiated by UGM students first in 2009 to embrace all differences of background, nationality, idealism, religions, and to conduct a research based activities in three realms of interests: small medium enterprises, post-disaster management, and community empowerment. The theme for this year DReAM is ‘Preparing Global Future Leaders for Better Awareness and Mutual Understanding among Nations’ by adopting the interfaith cooperation approach in creating a better tomorrow.
International Student Summer Program for Better Nations Understanding: DREAM 2009 have been held from 21 July 2009 to 30 July 2009 by Office of International Affairs (KUI) Universitas Gadjah Mada. This is the first time UGM presenting International Summer Program 2009. The participants consisted of 15 foreign students from various countries and 15 local students. The program is designed based on field study approach and intercultural exchange program. The flexibility of the program gave students the opportunity to participate in both small group workshops as well as whole group activities to ensure positive friendship networks throughout the week. This program aimed to increase student’s awareness in order to be part of the global society through academic approach. By the end of the program participants have gained more insight and inspirations through the activities and acquisition of new skills.
There were some activities such as field trips, community service, extreme sport, and performance art from participating different countries. During the program the participants did not only interact with fellow participants, but also with local residents in the villages by indulging themselves in UGM’s Field College-Work (KKN) Program. Participants have been driven to elaborate the diverse beauty of famous Hindu temples and Buddhist temples in Yogyakarta. In the end of this program, at Closing Ceremony, the participants performed cultural acts based on their country culture.
Empowering Mind with Prevailing Lectures
DREaM International Students Summer Program 2009 is designed based on field study approach and intercultural exchange program. DREaM 2009 topics highlight on thethree specific areas which are disaster management, cultural empowerment, and microeconomics. The purpose of DREaM 2009 is to be a meeting place for discussion and debate, an arena where ideas are born, friendships are made, and valuable lessons are learned. For the academic agenda, the participants attend general lecture and grounded lecture.
The flexibility of the program gives participants the opportunity to participate in both small group workshops as well as whole group activities to ensure positive friendship networks throughout the week. Workshops will be challenging, fun, and practical; offering a combination of interactive lectures, group work, and presentations. TheDREaM participants divided into specific topics groups; each group contains foreign students and Indonesian students. By the end of the program they will have to present what they have worked on.
The objectives of this program are:
* Building the spirit of multiculturalism and interfaith collaboration for the next global leaders.
* Enhancing the responsibility of the youth to the society and environment
* Introducing cultural and traditional values for the development to the youth
* Why Interfaith?
* Interfaith cooperation approach is important issue because recently conflict has its root based on faith. From Catholic – Protestant conflict in Ireland to Pattani conflict in Thailand. This approach is expected to emerge mutual understanding among youth from different backgrounds

Halpin Studentship Programme in Rice Blast Research Ref: 447
About the award
Location: Streatham Campus
Project summary:
Rice blast disease is a major constraint on world rice production and there is an urgent need for more effective and durable control strategies, particularly in the rice-growing nations most affected. Research at Exeter is focused on developing an understanding of the biology of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, utilising functional genomics and cell biology.
The Halpin Studentship Programme provides generous funding for scientists to carry out a PhD in molecular plant pathology in the laboratory of Professor Nicholas J. Talbot. The four-year studentship has a generous stipend, travel allowance, consumables budget and a home-integration award on completion.
Visit the School of Biosciences website for further information about our research in plant and microbial sciences.
