“I would highly recommend CommTECH to my peers as it is a
chance to learn from a diverse and dynamic group of people
coming together for the purpose of sharing knowledge,
learning and ge ng new angles on research. All CommTECH
par cipants have the unique opportunity to come together to
explore and discuss cri cal issues in a global perspec ve that
require mul disciplinary approaches. CommTECH couses are
fun, but intense. This program taugh me to think deeper, out
of the box and showed me how to integrate studying across
mul ple disciplines. If you want to learn more, just apply it!”

"In CommTECH Camp, you will discover how to make lifelong
friendships in 10 days. You will also learn about cultural
aspects in a very friendly and interac ve way by visi ng SME,
admiring indonesian landscapes such as Mount Bromo or
enjoying its waterfalls while doing ra ing. The courses are
concrete, inspired by elements directly no ced in the
environment and help developing our open-mindedness in
that new country. In a word, why haven't you joined yet?”

“The CommTECH program was one of the most enjoyable
programs I had the privilege to par cipate in. In this program
I was able to learn about an important global issue whilst s ll
being able to experience the beauty of Indonesia, from its rich
history and culture to its unique cuisines. However I believe
the greatest benefit from this program was the long las ng
friendship which are made and the wonderful memories my
fellow CommTECH par cipants and I cherish. During my me
at CommTECH we had a saying; You Only CommTECH Once
(YOCO), so make the most of it.”

“I was lucky to par cipate in CommTECH 2013 camp hosted
by ITS in Surabaya-Indonesia. I really enjoyed this program
since it acted as an eye opener to me with regards to many
issues affec ng our lives globally. I learned and experienced
so much during my stay in Indonesia. Most of all I enjoyed the
warmth and hospitality extended to us by the CommTECH
organising commi ee. I have been in many parts of the world
but I have never come across such warmth, smile and
dedica on shown by the organising commi ee and indeed
people in Indonesia in general. I seriously encourage
ins tu ons across the world to send their people to this
program.”
