Dr. Luis Mota, an Expert4Asia Grant-Holder

Written by Post Comment


Few days ago,  we had a guest named Luis Morta in Management Information System (MIS) class. He came to our class with Mr. Iskandarsyah Madjid, my MIS’ lecturer. Luis Morta is an Expert4Asia Post-Doctoral Program Exchange Student from Erasmus. He comes originally from Portugal. Since Luis was born and raised in Portugal, of course Portuguese is his native language. In addition, Louis is able to speak fluently in English, Germany, Italia, France, and now he is studying Bahasa Indonesia as well. Luis received his bachelor degree in University of Aveiro, Portugal majoring in Environmental Engineering.  During his life, he has got so many awards and scholarship, one of them was a chance to study in Italy. It's very cool, isn't it?

Here in Aceh, Louis is doing a research about environmental tourism. This is because he has a really strong interest in environment and also tourism. He would like to manage and develop the tourism sites without harming the environment. This kind of issues are being forgotten these days. During his research in Aceh, Louis assisted by some of my friends who are willing to be a volunteer to help him collect data that he needs.

In question and answer session. I asked him, do he has any tips in applying such a scholarships from Erasmus because I have applied for Expert4Asia program this year and I failed, so I need some tips from Louis. Then Louis answered, the most important thing in applying scholarships is we have to see the benefit of the program for us. We also have to see whether the host university’s curriculum and the subjects equal or not compare to our home university. But, apart from all the reason, he encouraged us to go abroad to study because we will get so many benefits for our career path later on.

So, that’s all about Louis Morta, hopefully we could get some inspirations from his amazing experiences.
