The Young Members Group of HATTI (Indonesias National Geotechnical Society) has launched a new and inspiring initiative for 2025: the SOIL Series Sharing of International Learning.
This bimonthly webinar series highlights the personal and academic journeys of Indonesian geotechnical engineers who have pursued or are currently pursuing studies abroad. Each session provides invaluable first-hand insight into:
-
Academic and research experiences in different countries
-
Daily living expenses (e.g., housing, food, transportation)
-
Scholarship application procedures and eligibility
-
Challenges and personal growth during international education
By sharing these stories, the SOIL Series aims to motivate and guide aspiring Indonesian students to pursue postgraduate studies abroad in geotechnical engineering and related fields.
Community Impact
The webinars have fostered open dialogue and peer support, helping build a community of globally minded young geotechnical professionals. Despite the presentations being delivered in Indonesian, the PowerPoint slides are in English, making them accessible to a broader audience.
You can rewatch the webinars on HATTIs official YouTube channel:
