EXTERNAL Affairs and Partnership Director and CAF Professor Carlos M. Pascual attended “WaterMicro” 2007, the 14th International Symposium on Health-related Water Microbiology held Sept. 9-15 at the University of Tokyo, Japan attended by about 300 participants from 45 countries all over the world.
While there, he was also able to attend a special seminar on water quality testing for health-related purposes conducted by the World Health Organization and go on a field trip to some wastewater facilities in Tokyo City.
Meanwhile, during a vacant time on Sept. 14, Pascual conducted a lecture-seminar at the Transdisciplinary Initiative for Global Sustainability (TGIS), also situated at the University of Tokyo. He met with Dr. Akisama Sumi, TGIS director, and Dr. Kensuke Fukushi as well as other TGIS faculty members. He and Fukushi discussed a proposal for an international conference in February 2009 to be held at MMSU and will be funded 15-30 million yen by TGIS. Topics for the said conference, he said, may include water environment, food and biomass energy, climate change, health, poverty alleviation, renewable energy, and interface between social science and sustainability.
Fukushi visited the university in May this year to sign a memorandum of agreement with MMSU on the promotion of faculty and scholars as well as academic information and materials and periodical academic publications; and the organization of joint research programs, conferences, academic meetings, and other academic exchanges. He also spoke on a forum where he presented environmental risk management for sustainable society. At that time, he was with another Japanese professor, Dr. Ryo Honda who spoke on sustainable water environment management in developing rural areas.
Pascual said Fukushi extended invitation to MMSU faculty members to submit papers to the 2nd International Water Environment Partnership in Asia Forum on Water Environmental Governance in Asia on Dec. 3-4 in Oita, Japan. Fukushi promised travel support to whoever would come from MMSU, he said.
He further invited MMSU students to attend training – with travel support – on sustainability to be sponsored by TGIS in summer 2008.
Pascual said the TGIS’ director also expressed desire to visit MMSU to which he proposed that he can come in January 2008 in time for the university’s foundation anniversary celebration or in April 2008 for the commencement exercises.
