Yogyahealth is an outstanding ASEA-UNINET collaboration project between European and South-East Asian partners, which was awarded the Bernd Rode Award 2016 and furthermore honoured by a certificate of gratitude by the Universitas Gadjah Mada in 2016. The project was founded in the year 2008 by Matthias Lechner, MD, PhD, and an Indonesian colleagues and supported by Univ.-Prof. Bernd Rode, Univ.-Prof. Erich Schmutzhard and Univ.-Prof. Walter Kofler and the Indonesian leadership team, incl. Prof. Mo Hakimi, Prof. Ova Emilia, Prof. Bing Tan, Dr. Sagung Indrasari, et al. The collaboration was founded and continuously developed by financial means of ASEA-UNINET.
Meanwhile the project comprises three different parts: (i) the „Yogyakarta Head and Neck Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Programme“ (www.yogyahealth.org/ent), specifically addressing the prevention and early diagnosis of cancer in the field of ENT, (ii) the „Yogyakarta Public Health Promotion Link“ (www.yogyahealth.org/publichealth), focusing on the Smoking Awareness und Smoking Prevention Programme and (iii) the „Yogyakarta Women’s Health Initiative“ (http://www.yogyahealth.org/womenshealth), which specialises in screening and early detection of cervical cancer in Yogyakarta province. This also includes an online portal for physicians and patients with validated patient information leaflets in the local language.

Dr. Lechner’s recent work focused on the establishment of a screening programme for nasopharyngeal cancer which is endemic to South-East Asia. Without an endoscopic examination of the nasopharynx early-stage cancer is frequently missed and, hence, patients in rural and poor regions around Yogyakarta often present with cancer at an advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. Generous donations by the companies Olympus, Medtronic and Tristel in 2015 and a very generous donation by the company Storz in 2016 helped to equip ENT-medics in two different hospitals with special medical equipment that allowed a thorough examination of patients by endoscopic means and the ability to obtain a biopsy sample under direct vision. This will lead to a significant reduction of negative biopsies in cancerous cases. As the equipment is now located in two peripheral hospitals, patients who either are not referred or do not have the financial means to travel to Yogyakarta can be examined using an endoscopic system locally. According to data from the Dr Sardjito Hospital in Yogyakarta, 50% of all head and neck cancers can be ascribed to nasopharyngeal cancer.

In March 2016 Dr. Lechner started preparatory work for a further research collaboration on screening for nasopharyngeal cancer and visited peripheral hospitals with the prupose of educating doctors together with the Yoyakarta team. This stay in Indonesia then coincided with the 15th ASEA-UNINET plenary meeting, where Dr. Lechner was awarded the Bernd Rode Award 2016. The financial means associated with the award were used for visiting Indonesia once again in August 2016, together with Mrs Cindy Teh and Mr Cepi Maryadi as well as other co-workers from the company Storz, where the new equipment was handed over to the medical teams in peripheral hospitals. Dr. Ima and her team in the Wonosari District Hospital received endoscopes and a brand-new LED system with instructions and training by Dr. Lechner. The second system was given to Dr. Mugi and his team at Banyumas District Hospital.

In a ceremony of thanks at Gadjah Mada University Dr. Lechner was handed over a certificate by the Dean of the faculty, to express the gratitude to ASEA-UNINET and the project team. In the future a smartphone application for data collection and for raising public awareness of symptoms and early signs of nasopharyngeal carcinoma shall be developed and potentially expanded to other programmes. Furthermore, a project on tracheostomy care has already been conducted under Dr. Lechner’s supervision, showing improvement of quality of patient care after the donation of tracheostomy care equipment.

In the period of 5-9 December 2016 in Vietnam, ASEA-UNINET held in collaboration with the Austrian Embassy the “Austrian – Vietnamese ASEA-UNINET Days in Vietnam” as one of the commemorative activities towards the 45th Anniversary of the establishment of Austrian – Vietnamese diplomatic relations. The event started from 5-6 December, 2016 at Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) campus in Hanoi, continued at University of Danang in Da Nang (7 December, 2016) and finished at University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City in Ho Chi Minh City (8-9 December, 2016). A delegation of Austrian University Professors in the areas of Informatics, Food Science and Biotechnology, Medicine, Economics, Geology and Music travelled to Vietnam to meet interested researchers.
The main objective of the “Austrian – Vietnamese ASEA-UNINET Days in Vietnam” is to promote the research collaboration among Vietnamese and Austrian universities and disseminating ASEA-UNINET grants including sandwich grants, PhD grants, Postdoc and short-term research grants to young university staffs in Vietnam. According to the Austrian ambassador to Vietnam, H.E. Dr. Thomas Loidl, the Austrian – Vietnamese Diplomatic Relation which was established in 1972 is excellent and based on mutual trust and friendship: “An important objective for the Austrian Embassy in Hanoi is to strengthen the relations between Vietnam and Austria in all sectors, not only in the political and economic field but also in the important sectors of science, research, technology and education” – he said and highly appreciated the contributions of ASEA-UNINET as well as the initiative of the „Austrian – Vietnamese Asea-Uninet Days in Vietnam“.

Every year the Conference on Cultural Heritage and New Technologies (CHNT) is taking place in the city hall of Vienna, every time focusing on a different topic. The 21st CHNT, this year’s programme, dealt with Urban Archeology and Data. It was held between November 16-18, 2016.
A speciality was the Science Slam which was held for the first time at the CHNT and won by two researchers from the ASEA-UNINET supported Affandi museum project. They enthused the jury with their artistic performance demonstrating their project on the Museum Affandi. We warmly congratulate Doris Grandits and Lukas Stampfer to their great performance!
ASEA-UNINET proudly announces the award won by a collaboration project between two departments of the Vienna University of Technology (Ulrike Herbig, Gudrun Styhler-Aydin, Doris Grandits, Lukas Stampfer from the Institute of History of Art, Building Archeology and Restoration together with Ulrich Pont from the Department of Building Physics and Building Ecology), the Danube University Krems (Patricia Engel from the European Research Centre for Book and Paper Conservation-Restoration) and the Universitas Gadjah Mada (Ikaputra, from the Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta). The aim of the project was to develop a concept of restoration and find a way of climate adequate maintenance of the Affandi Museum (Yogyakarta, Indonesia).
The Affandi Museum Indonesia is a well known place for modern Indonesian art. Unfortunately weather and climatic conditions had a deteriorating effect on the museum’s condition, thereby posing a critical threat to Indonsias’s contemporary cultural heritage. During a stay in Austria Kartika Affandi, Affindi’s daughter, got into contact with Austrian researchers – an initiative dialogue about the comprehensive restoration of the building began.
For the purpose of fostering current relations and planning future research projects the Austrian-Vietnamese ASEA-UNINET Days will be held in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City from December 5th to 9th 2016. A delegation of Austrian University Professors in the areas of Informatics, Food Science and Biotechnology, Medicine, Economics, Geology and Music will travel to Vietnam to meet interested researchers. The programs in the three individual locations include short presentations of best practice collaboration projects from previous years, detailed information about scholarship possibilities in the framework of ASEA-UNINET and working groups focusing on the different research areas for enhancing, triggering and planning of future research collaboration projects.
The organizers are looking forward to meeting many interested researchers in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
