Soon, after the examination of my thesis in front of the international jury on the 16th of June 2007 in Muséum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle (France), I had an opportunity to enroll in the office of the Permanent Delegation of the Republic of Indonesia to UNESCO. Since then, I have been an assistant to the Ambassador of the Indonesian Delegation to UNESCO, and I also have been a student in the doctoral degree at MNHN. There are contrasts but I found the interface for myself. From the substantive matters as well as administrative and secretariat matters in my office, I have the opportunity to learn what happened with a big dream like UNESCO: a dynamic of multilateral cooperation, substantive matters in cultural sector and world heritage management, having the opportunity to meet with the decision makers from my country in the office (they are the bureaucrats and the legislators) and learn to use different working languages and office tools (informatics, archiving). For my studies, my working group in MNHN has understood that my days were busy with administrative matters but by all means we were working together for our scientific matters and net

Course programme
Paleo-anthropology: the necessary interdisciplinary approach to anthropological aspects of man’s evolution will be provided within curricula. A sort of continuity between our species’ early and present behavior will be established.
Procedures for research on prehistory and archeology: To provide the necessary practical and theoretical skills for archeological evidences management and interpretation. The field of prehistoric archeology is extremely wide and needs an interdisciplinary and well balanced kind of approach and in order to collect all necessary data for the documentation and the consequent interpretation of archeological evidences.
Geology and Paleontology of Quaternary: To provide necessary knowledge on the interpretation of geologic/environmental context within prehistoric settlements. The multidisciplinary approach including geological, paleontological and biological aspects will allow to draw a complete scene of the study on prehistory and Quaternary.
Heritage preservation and revaluation: To provide all necessary practical and theoretical knowledge for the preservation of our archeological heritage. The revaluation process is a very important opening for work opportunities. The aim is to enable doctors to recognize, study and interpret the cultural heritage always in the attempt to preserve, to revaluate and to disclose it.
Stage: Operational and planning activity on the subjects of the master degree in collaboration with lecturers at state and private companies.
Thesis: Individual research agreed with the Teachers Board supported by a tutor; the exam has to highlight synthesis’ ability, comprehension of the subject and the planning aspects of the study carried out.
