Advisory Board

The advisory Board of ITB Geothermal Master’s Program is in charges to provide strategic advice on the direction of the project and to develop a road map for long term sustainability of this project partnership for geothermal education. In this way, it was hoped to avoid many of the pitfalls of other initiatives by being effectively driven by the industry itself. Not only is this likely to provide a more successful result in achieving the necessary quantities of academically qualified people, it also provides a framework for industry to offer internships and other forms of technical apprenticeships to provide this new workforce with the essential work-experience – “raw graduates” alone would never solve the upcoming problem. The member of Advisory board consists of Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), INAGA (Indonesian Geothermal Association), PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Star Energy Geothermal Wayang Windu Ltd., Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd., Schlumberger Ltd., Supreme Energy Ltd., Halliburton Ltd., PT Thermochem and ITB. (Smillie et al., 2015)

The most important outcomes from the meetings in 2012 and four meetings in 2013is a more permanent network established among ITB, Star Energy and members of the advisory board, i.e. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Star Energy Ltd., Indonesian Geothermal Association (INAGA/API), PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE), Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd., Schlumberger, Haliburton, Supreme Energy, and PT Thermochem. The program supported by the Advisory Board is in line with the “Roadmap of the Graduate Program in Geothermal Engineering of ITB 2008-2018”. The network allows ITB to coordinate the internship program conducted in Star Energy, PT PGE, Chevron, and Supreme Energy at ease, providing more opportunities for students from the geothermal master’s program to conduct their research with those companies/developers. With the help from industry, students can now produce papers or research based on what they experience from an internship or short visitation to the existing geothermal areas. (Smillie et al., 2015)
