From 7 to 11 August, the second APIE Camp was successfully concluded at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), located in the city of Bandung, Indonesia. Bandung is the capital of Indonesia’s West Java province, and it is known for its lively university-town feel and relatively cool tropical weather.

For five days, 16 students from SOI Asia partner universities in Indonesia and Malaysia participated in the program. Mentors from APNIC, AWS, University Sains Malaysia (USM), ITB, and Keio University led several sessions and mentored participants during the program. The 5-day curriculum was largely the same as the previous camp conducted in Keio in February 2023.

ITB also conducted another APIE Camp for local students in Bahasa Indonesia. Also, this was also the first time that female learners took part as participants.

APIE Camp provides a project-based intensive curriculum for network design and implementation. The APIE program aims to help learners build essential Internet engineering skills and knowledge to improve cyberspace for society.

Keisuke Uehara and Eliko Akashi traveled to Vietnam to promote collaboration and cooperation for SOI Asia programs EBA (Evidence-Based Approach) and APIE (Asia Pacific Internet Engineering). Ms. Do Thi Thuy Van, COO of Ominext and HUST-Keio alumnus, was the liaison between the SOI Asia team and local institutions.

On May 11, Uehara and Akashi visited the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Vietnam. They met Dr. Nguyen Binh Minh (the director of HUST’s Fintech Center), Dr. Dao Thanh Chung (School of Information and Communication Technology), and Dr. Nguyen Thi Xuan Hoa (vice director of HUST’s Fintech Center).

HUST joined SOI Asia in 2005 and was one of the initial members of the EBA Consortium (2012-2016). The institutions co-hosted an EBA fieldwork program in 2015, and HUST students actively participated in other EBA activities from 2013-2016.

In the following days, the SOI Asia team introduced EBA and APIE to the Vietnam National University’s Vietnam-Japan University (VNU-VJU) rector, Professor Motoo Furuta, and JICA’s Motoi Koike.

SOI Asia team also met with local companies such as HB Lab Joint Stock Co. (HBL) and Orainchain Labs, where parties explored the possibilities for hosting future APIE internship and EBA fieldwork programs.

The first edition of the APIE Camp was successfully concluded last week at Keio University Hiyoshi Campus, Japan.

Facilitators from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), University of Science Malaysia (USM), APNIC, and AWS Indonesia mentored 12 students from Brawijaya University (UB) and Syiah Kuala University (USK) to put into practice the skills and knowledge acquired from the APIE Online course and APIE e-Workshop.

APIE Camp provides a project-based intensive curriculum for network design and implementation. The APIE program aims to help learners build essential Internet engineering skills and knowledge to improve cyberspace for society.
