The socialization is two-way in nature where participants can ask questions and have discussions directly with Prof. Tjitjik.

He is actually just a coordinator, uniting all the steps to build UPNVJ. Something that starts small. We build study programs and lecturers first and then that becomes our foundation for building our institution. This is what we really need to match our thoughts, our steps together for UPNVJ," said Prof. Tjitjik.
