valid email addresses. That was important to us because we would like to invite all of our alumni to this
year’s alumni meeting, to be held in Hotel Intercontinental Jakarta, 27 th March – 29th March 2015. In the
meantime, quite a few alumni have sent us new email addresses so that we will be able to get in touch
with them. Thanks to all of you who have supported us in this matter!
Last week we have also placed a related ad in KOMPAS, so hopefully our database will be up-to-date to
send out invitations within the next two weeks.
Often people ask us, “What is a DAAD alumnus or a DAAD alumna, for that matter?” Here is the answer:
We consider all those people alumni who held a DAAD scholarship for at least 12 months. All those,

We put together an exciting program that should be of relevance to all our alumni: “Getting Ready! The

2014 - Year of Living to the Fullest
2014 has been a great year for DAAD. There were plenty of memorable moments and events, those which we organized ourselves,
and those organized by the other institutions across the country.
We organized 7 education fairs and information events promoting Study and
Research in Germany all over the country, such as at Universitas Surabaya
(March and May), at Universitas Hasanuddin in Makassar (March), at
Deutsche Internationale Schule in Tangerang (April), at Universitas Pattimura
in Ambon (April), at our regional office in Jakarta (Juni) and at Universitas
Brawijaya in Malang (September). DAAD Jakarta was also present at 31
education fairs, which were carried out by the universities, schools or other

DAAD Quarterly Science Talks at DAAD have been successfully
held during 2014 with various themes.
 In March, Dr. Free Hearty, M. Hum talked about gender construction - Potret Perempuan: Dunia nyata & dunia kata dalam konstruksi budaya
 In April right after the Indonesian parliamentary elections and the
EU elections, the second quarterly talk was staged in the German
Embassy. Dr. Andreas Radtke spoke about Parliamentarism: The
role of the people‘s representatives in democracy - Indonesia,

 In September, at the third quarterly science talk, the DAAD Lecturer at Universitas Islam Negeri Jakarta (UIN), Dr. Margareth
Gfrerer, spoke on Waste management; Reduce-Reuse-Refuse: The economic impact of minimizing waste.
 In October, the last quarterly was held. Dr. Oliver Coleman, a fairly well-known Berlin-based science slammer and the curator
of Crustacea at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, talked about Discovering the Unknown. On diving expeditions to the
Antarctic and Caribbean in search of new crustacean species.
Web-based seminars or “ webinars” are very useful programs in
Indonesia, being the world’s largest archipelago. They are an excellent
platform for sharing information about study and research in Germany
because participants do not have to travel but can easily follow from their
home screen or anywhere comfortable with a good internet connection.
Webinars are usually live and interactive, which allows participants to listen
to the presenter and view the online
presentation on computer, without
having to be in a particular office in Jakarta. We organized 17 Webinars on a
wide range of subjects during 2014, Seven of them were in cooperation with

registrations for our webinars during 2014. Most registrations, 212, were
made for the special pre-EHEF webinar, organized one day before the
EHEF. The speakers were from six German universities and one German
institution that took part in the EHEF.

Internship at DAAD Jakarta Office
Hello, my name is Laura Nießen. I have been here in the DAAD Regional Office Jakarta for an internship of 4 months since September 2014. After finishing my Bachelor
studies in Maastricht (NL) last August, I took the lucky opportunity to come to Indonesia. In the office, I mainly worked with Ms. Olivia Sopacua in Marketing and assisted our
director, Dr. Irene Jansen, in her work. However, I also had the chance to work with all
the other colleagues and get to know their fields of expertise. During my time here, I
was able to join the European Higher Education Fair and travel to Surabaya and Makassar. I was impressed by the huge interest of Indonesian students to come to Germany and I hope that many of them will be able to come and study or research in Germany. My travels have taken me to several places in Indonesia and have shown me how beautiful Indonesia is, with many
different facets and very lovely people. I fully enjoyed my internship here with the amazing DAAD team. I have learned a
lot, in the office and outside on the streets of Jakarta. Therefore, I would like to thank everyone in the DAAD Regional
Office for being such wonderful colleagues and giving me such a great time here. Author: Laura Nießen
Internship of RISE-Program at an Indonesian University
After six months I can look back to a grateful and instructive time in Indonesia.
In the research center of photosynthetic pigments in Ma Chung University (MRCPP), Malang,
East Java I accomplished an internship in the time from April until October 2014. With the
support of Ms. Dr. Leenawaty Limantara (MRCPP) and the German Academic Exchange
Service (DAAD) the organization and preparation for the internship was done very good and
quickly. The warm welcoming atmosphere of Ms. Dr. Leenawaty Limantara and all members
of MaChung University kept over the whole period I stayed at MRCPP. Whenever I needed
support a friendly face was ready to help me. During my internship I worked on the project
“Development and utilization of chlorophylls and carotenoids of various Indonesian
indigenous species as potential bioactive compound sources”. We analyzed leafy green
vegetable of the area of Malang for their color, pigment composition, chlorophyll content and
nitrogen content with in vivo and in vitro methods. Based on this data I published together
with my work colleges two papers which I presented on the International Conference on Plant
Martin Dettling
Physiology (ICPP) in Bali and on the International Conference of Natural Science (ICONS) in Batu. Out of the laboratory
I joined many nice activities of the university like sampling field excursions, visits of ministry members and students
graduation.
In my free time I found also time to discover Indonesia. Friendly and helpful people are not only in Ma Chung University,
they are every where in the country. The kindness and helpful behavior of Indonesians as well the versatile beautiful
area on the Indonesian’ Islands are amazing and breathe taking. After these six months I am really touched by the people’s hospitality. In this way I want to say “Thank you” to MaChung University, MRCPP, DAAD and all people who joined in this beautiful country time with me. Author: Martin Dettling.
