DENPASAR—The Master’s Program in Environmental Science (PSMIL) at Udayana University’s Graduate School received a working visit from the Director General of Environmental Engineering, Ministry of Environment of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, Mr. Domingos Mesquita, on Tuesday (May 5, 2026). This visit aimed to strengthen educational cooperation and enhance human resource capacity in the field of environmental science.

The meeting, held at the Udayana University Graduate School building, was a special occasion, as Domingos Mesquita is a 2016 alumnus of the Unud PSMIL. During the discussion, plans were discussed for technical training on technical inventory and environmental data management for staff of the Ministry of Environment of Timor-Leste, to be facilitated by the Udayana University Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM).

In addition to short-term training, plans were also discussed to send ministry staff to pursue formal studies in the Master’s Program in Environmental Science at Unud. Moreover, Unud is currently an administrator of the Developing Countries Partnership (KNB) scholarship, which opens up extensive opportunities for international students. Moving forward, this collaboration is expected to expand into the realm of strategic cross-national environmental research.
