Workshop on Master Of New Technologies Using Services
February 18th – 22nd, 2019
University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès
France
ITC joint the kick off meeting of MONTUS (Master Of New Technologies Using Services) on February 18th – 22nd, 2019, in the University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès, France. MONTUS comes directly after TORUS Erasmus+ capacity building program (2015-2018) with the ambition to develop research on cloud computing in the environmental sciences and promote its education in the countries of South East Asian partners.
The strategy of the MONTUS project aims to organize thematic and practical workshops and publish reference books on education, and scientific. MONTUS will also deliver practical solutions deployed at three basic levels of cloud computing (infrastructure, platform, and software) in the partner countries with computer hardware funded by the project (installed in Hanoi, Pathum Thani and Phnom Penh).
MONTUS gathered around the University of Toulouse 2 Jean Jaures, the National School of Architecture (ENSA Toulouse), the International School of Information Processing Sciences (EISTI, Pau campus), University of Ferrara in Italy, University Brussels Vrije, Faculty of Engineering and Technology of Vietnam National University (Hanoi), the Hanoi Architectural University, the Nong Lam University of Ho Chi Minh City, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT – Pathumthani, Thailand), Walailak University (Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand) and two Cambodian institutions in Phnom Penh: the Royal University of Fine Art and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia. Three associated partners join MONTUS: French Agency of Francophonie (AUF – Asia Pacific, Hanoi), Meteorological Environment Earth Observation (MEEO – Italy), Institute of Agriculture and Environment (IAE, Hanoi), and HUPI cloud computing society (France). In total, it’s 60 permanent members who are working for MONTUS for three years with height workshops alternatively in Europe and Asia.
For the workshop, each partner presents the information about their universities and the activities plans to use the cloud and Hight Performance Computing (HPC) platform that will be installed in the project (in ITC). Each partner present also their experience in different countries focusing on environmental monitoring and modeling capabilities. The major output of the workshop was to start a collaboration network for cloud computing on environmental studies between Europe and Asia.
