Angkor Project Group
At the beginning of 2005, we initiated a project of students from the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing, IWR, University of Heidelberg, and students from the Royal University of Fine Arts and Architecture, RUFA, Phnom Penh.
The aim of the Angkor Project Group, APG, is
a close collaboration among students with different cultural
and educational backgrounds, transferring knowledge based on direct contacts.
A Memorandum of Understanding
of both universities was signed in March, 2005.
You may download the following posters shown at the 23rd Bertha Benz-Vorlesung in June 2006. They provide general information on our activities in a printable form.
