Presenters: Statistics and Econometrics (Dewa Wisana), Mathematical Economics (Djoni Hartono / Teguh Dartanto), and Micro Economics (Vid Adrison).

Presenters of the course: Transportation Economics (Erik Verhoef), Urban and Regional Economics (Henri de Groot and Peter Mulder), and Environmental Economics (Gerard van der Meijden).
These are the best four-week experiences in studying transportation, the environment, and urbanism from an economic perspective to overcome current problems and make better living conditions for the future. Do not forget that after the end of this event, all participants were given two types of certificates, namely Certificate of attendance by FEB-UI and SBE-VU.
