Kick-off Meeting and Site Visit Held

On March 4, 2026, a kick-off meeting for this project was held at Bilik Persidangan, Engineering Tower, University of Malaya. The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format, bringing together project members from Japan and Malaysia. Active discussions were held on the research plan, division of roles, and future collaboration strategies. In particular, the participants shared concrete directions for establishing an effective research framework that leverages the strengths of each institution, as well as for promoting the exchange of young researchers.

In addition, on the previous day, the participants visited the POME treatment site operated by Cynergi SEA. This visit provided valuable insights into the actual operation and facility configuration, contributing to a deeper understanding for future demonstration studies.

Through this meeting and site visit, the foundation for international collaborative research has been further strengthened, and the acceleration of research activities and the generation of tangible outcomes are expected in the future.
