UGM Hosts RUBIS International Workshop on the Resilience of Rubber-based Agroforestry Systems in the Context of Global Change

The Research Center for Biotechnology at UGM hosted the first RUBIS International Workshop on the Resilience of Rubber-based Agroforestry Systems in the Context of Global Change on Monday (5/4). This workshop is a part of the RUBIS (Rubber Agroforestry Breeding Initiative for Smallholders) project held by the consortium of CIRAD (The French Agricultural Research Center for International Development), IRRI (the Indonesian Rubber Research Institute), and UGM. 

While rubber is one of the strategic commodities of plantation crops for Indonesia, it has been facing threats to its rubber plantation systems and production. Indonesia is reported to contribute 28.6 percent of the world’s total natural rubber supply. However, low productivity has been one of the biggest challenges for rubber production, especially for smallholders. Threats posed by climate change are exacerbating this vulnerability of smallholder rubber plantations.

Hanyang University is happy to inform you that we begin accepting your nominations for 2021 Fall

nominations for future semesters. Also the nomination is not needed for a student currently studying at
Hanyang who wishes to extend their stay for another term. There is a separate process for study period
extension and we will share the instruction upon request.

Every semester, we try our best to help students register courses they desire as much as possible. However, as our academic system works on first-come-first-served basis, their preferred choices of courses are NOT GUARANTEED. So we ask exchange students to be flexible with their course preferences.
