Participation in the course includes the participation of students and lecturers of many Vietnamese schools such as Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Resources and Environment (HCMUNRE), Can Tho University (CTU), Vietnam Maritime University (VMU) along with the participation of students and lecturers from Europe and Malaysia.
We explore marine or coastal or delta issues, namely the content approached under the presentation of the faculty including:
Week 1: from 14/08/2022 to 21/08/2022 at UTP

− Mapping Ecosystem Services of Coastal areas. Ecosystem services matrix – expert evaluation. Ecosystem Services hot and cold spots – Siiri Külm, Lagle Lõhmus.
− Marine Productivity, Food Webs, and Strategies for a Sustainable Use of Marine Living Resources – Dr. Holger Auel, University of Bremen.
− PETRONAS Exploration Marine and Coastal Sustainability Practices in PETRONAS Career Exposure with PETRONAS – Mr. Sandeep Chandola Mr. Rahimi Faizal Ibrahim.
− Defining Ecosystem services of Coastal areas (carbon storage and sequestration, etc,) using QGIS – Dr. Anne Kull, Estonian University of Life Sciences.
− Positive effects of trees on climate regulation, carbon sequestration and noise reduction – Dr. Daniele La Rosa, University of Catania.
− Impact on the coastal areas – Dr. Vincenzo Maccarrone, Institute for Marine Biological Resources and Biotechnology of the Italian National.
− Coastal protection structures and restoration – Dr Teh Hee Min, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
− Impacts and responses of climate change to the coastal areas of the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam – Dr. Le Anh Tuan, Vietnam.
− Impact of sea level to coastal dynamic for marine sustainable – Dr. Mohd Fadzil Akhir, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.
− Hydromorpho dynamics of the coastal area – Dr. Pietro Scandura, University of Catania.
During our time in science at the school, we also participated in field trips such as a UniKL-MIMET school tour and a field trip to Malaysia’s largest artificial island, Penang.
At the same time, we can also learn about wave tank during a visit to UTP and the forms in the mining of drilling rigs taught here.
Week 2: from 22/08/2022 to 24/08-2022:
− SUSTAINABILITY EFFORT IN MARINE & MARITIME TECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM ( SEMMarTS ) – UniKL-MIMET.
− Structural Analysis of Marine Structures using Finite Element Method – Present by : Muhammad Akmal Afiq Bin Zullastri – Supervised by : Ts . Dr. Zulzamri Bin Salleh – UniKL-MIMET.
− Remediation of oil – contaminated sand using chemical – free bubbles in laminar and turbulent flows – Dr Aliff Radzuan Mohamad Radzi – Head of Section Industrial Linkages Malaysian Institute of Chemical and Bioengineering Technology Alor Gajah Melaka- UniKL-MIMET.
− Wave Energy Conversion : A Comparison of Fix and Floating of Oscillating Water Column for Low Wave Energy – Rohaizad Hafidz bin Rozali – Doctor of Philosophy ( Mechanical ) UniKL
During this time, we participated in field trips to Green Port , visiting the VALE mining mine in Malaysia.
During my visit to Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) and Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology (UniKL-MIMET) and participated in field trips, exchange and experience sharing here, I gathered some results as follows.:
The training provided project participants and practical research experience on a wide range of issues related to marine, coastal and delta sustainability with a focus on new and innovative methods and approaches. The way to learn and acquire knowledge is to deduce from the problem posed from which to ask yourself questions and answer your own questions from pre-existing knowledge and learn from around.
We were introduced to an overview of sustainability challenges and the state of the art in marine and coastal sciences, policy and management. Learn more knowledge about many directions during field trips. During the field trips, we were also able to learn more about many issues in the tour process such as how to operate the wave pool, visiting Malaysia’s largest artificial island construction form.
Through the trip we gained a lot of expertise as well as learned a lot of new knowledge in the field of protecting marine and coastal sustainability during our trip to Malaysia.
Here are some pictures saved after the training course:
