MARE – Marine Coastal and Delta Sustainability for Southeast Asia
MARE is an Erasmus+ CBHE project (2020 – 2023) aims to develop adaptive, end-user-oriented and internationally-relevant curricula to support sustainable management and governance of coastal and adjacent marine areas of partner countries Malaysia and Vietnam.
​
The underlying assumption is that most of relevant research and teaching already exist in place in these countries, however, an effort is still needed to frame and integrate them, to equip teachers and learners with e-learning tools, and to enrich with the expertise of EU and other consortium partners (also through joint research, exchanges and e-tools).
Institute of Geology Malaysia (IGM)
Institute of Geology Malaysia, also known as IGM, was officially registered with the Malaysian Registrar of Societies in 1989 (PPM-003-14-11031989). It's establishment was in response to the urgent need for a single body to regulate the profession of geology in Malaysia. The seal of IGM portrays a hammer flanked by silhouette maps of Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. The seal depicts the basic tool of the field geologist and thus symbolizes the role of the geologist in Malaysia. The objectives of IGM are as follows:
-
To provide a central organisation for geologists in the form of a learned and scientific institute for geology and to provide for the definition of, and qualification for, the various branches of the profession of the geological sciences.
-
To promote friendly interaction amongst geologists and to hold meetings for readings and discussions of matters relating to geology and their various arts and sciences connected therewith.
-
To regulate and uphold the dignity, standing and reputation of the profession of geology.
-
To promote and advance the knowledge, study and practice of geology and the various arts and sciences connected therewith.
-
To assist, advise and cooperate with government departments and other private or public bodies in an honorary capacity on questions relating to the science of geology and policy in respect of land and earth resource utilisation and all other matters connected therewith.
