On September 2 and 3, 2024, the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF) was honored to welcome a delegation from Politeknik Negeri Bali (PNB), led by Mr. I Nyoman Abdi, Director of the institution.
This meeting marks a key stage in the strengthening of ties between our institutions, with ambitions for academic collaborations in the fields of tourism, business and new technologies.
Strategic and enriching discussions
During their visit, the members of the delegation were able to discuss potential synergies with the President, Armel De la Bourdonnaye, Franck Barbier, El Hadj Dogheche and Jonathan Brindle, whether in terms of thesis co-supervision, staff and student exchanges.
A focus on tourism and innovation
One of PNB's main aspirations is to raise its academic offering to doctoral level, with a first opening in tourism. The meeting with Irène Sartorretti, Sylvain Petit, Amos Fergombe, was an opportunity to present, among other things, UPHF's training courses in this field, research work, the networks it is part of, but also the chair in tourism and heritage enhancement, as well as the sustainable tourism project funded by the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie. As for the meeting with IAE, led by Mohamed Ramdani, Véronique Sanguinetti, Olivier Nicolas and Ghassen Allani, it provided a glimpse of collaborations in digital marketing and innovation.
