  • The NUST rector sent a memo to the VC of University of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur suggesting a collaboration with UNIMAS, NUST & SLAC. This was favorably received. Les followed up with an email to the UM folks. UM also seem very receptive.
  • This meeting is to gauge interest, potential avenues to explore and whether to put together a proposal and apply for funding.
    • We need to decide what is the scope of the project/proposal. For example:
      • Set up an active end-to-end monitoring infrastructure for Malaysia educational sites, similar to that set up in Pakistan.
      • Set up low cost, low power monitorable sites (e.g. similar to the ePingER project) in remote regions such as Bario, Long Lamai, and Ba Kalalan.
      • Other suggestions.
    • If go for funding need to identify potential funding sources.
    • Need to identify a lead to put together a joint proposal from (UNIMAS, NUST/SEECS, SLAC, and UM)to a funding source for a joint project to set up.
