Flooding is a common natural disaster in Indonesia, causing damage to property and sometimes loss of life. Determined to make a difference, Adibtya Asyahri decide to study a Master’s of Water Science abroad.
After earning a Water Engineering bachelor’s degree from Brawijaya University in Malang, East Java, Indonesia in 2015, Adib got a scholarship from the European Union through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees program on Flood Risk Management.
It was a unique program that gave him the chance to study towards a double Master’s degree which integrated science, engineering, and socioeconomic topics through a range of courses taught by leading experts at four European universities: the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education in Delft, The Netherlands; Technical University of Dresden in Dresden, Germany; the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain; and the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. He finished the thesis during a research internship at the Danish Hydraulic Institute in Horsholm, Denmark.
At the end of his studies Adib came back to Indonesia to implement his knowledge. This was when he saw big opportunities to contribute more with APRIL.
The first time Adib heard about APRIL was from his college mate in the Netherlands, who had gone on to work at the company. His friend told him that APRIL granted him the opportunity to study hydrology and hydraulics with full financial support, and that it was seeking new experts with the relevant educational background.
"At that time, I was amazed by the company's commitment to implementing sustainability in every aspect of its operations. That commitment was proven by APRIL's significant investment in people development, research development, and peatland management," Adib said, adding that after joining the company in 2018, his opinion was proven to be right.
