The international network of FOLENS is consisted of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT, Japan), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM, Malaysia), Kasetsart University (KU, Thailand), CanTho University (CU, Vietnam), University of Ghana (UG, Ghana) and Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES, China). The latter 5 Education & Research Bases (E&R Base) collaborate with TUAT for on-site environmental monitoring and field training. The E&R Bases also have been doing their own and mutual cooperation for education and research activities on environmental science.

In it, “The Field Oriented Workshop at Bidong Island, Terengganu, Malaysia” was held in June, 2011. The workshop was lead by Assoc.
