ITS as one of the best science and technological universities in Indonesia would like to invite your students and staffs to participate in the Community and Technological Camp (CommTECH) Camp 2015 which will take place in Surabaya, Indonesia. Extending the success of 2012 to 2014 CommTECH Camp, in 2015 ITS International Office is holding the event again with new innovations. ITS offers three attractive programs which are CommTECH Camp Insight (2 – 10 February 2015), CommTECH Camp Highlight (24 August – 1 September 2015) and Customized Short Programs to accomodate the needs and the schedule of various international partners. ITS also provides numbers of full & partial scholarships for participants for those programs (please read the rules of the scholarship in the brochure).

CommTECH Camp  is an opportunity for university students, academics, and professionals from all over the world to learn about community and global issues through a variety of fun activities. The program will include Indonesian language course, learning traditional music and dances,  making your own batik and for sure tasting delicious Indonesian food. The program also includes some visit to Surabaya Community, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and main tourist destinations in East Java.

The aim of the event is to facilitate a broad opportunity to better understand ITS's expertises and technology implementation in the society while visiting, discovering, and experiencing Indonesia's diverse heritage and culture.
