AACHEN, July 23 – In a world where health challenges are increasingly global in nature, international collaboration in biomedical engineering and health sciences has never been more critical. A member from the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences, Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE), Assoc Prof. Ir. Dr. Asnida Abdul Wahab, recently participated in the Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility Programme, visiting universities in Germany namely Ilmenau Technological University and Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen University to strengthen academic and research partnerships in this field. Her visit served as a platform to promote Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) expertise in biomedical engineering and health Sciences while enhancing UTM’s visibility and impact on the international stage. Through lectures, laboratories visit, and research discussions, she engaged with students, academics and researchers who share a common mission to harness the power of biomedical innovation and technology to improve the quality of life and support sustainable healthcare systems. The exchange highlighted areas of mutual interest, including rehabilitation technology, medical imaging, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted healthcare solutions. These discussions paved the way for deeper collaboration in new curriculum mapping, joint research initiatives, and continuous student mobility with a shared goal of nurturing globally competent graduates and fostering research with real-world impact. In alignment with this collaborative spirit, UTM has actively supported student mobility particularly through the technological internship program with Ilmenau University of Technology. For the 2024/25 session alone, UTM has successfully sent three students for industrial internship, two for research attachment and one student for the upcoming internship this August which will further strengthening current academic ties and providing students with valuable international exposure in biomedical and technological research. In addition, RWTH Aachen’s university hospital collaboration offers a strong model for translational research in biomedical engineering and health sciences. The close integration between clinical settings and academic research allows for seamless collaboration, enabling real-world testing, rapid clinical feedback, and impactful innovation. This approach significantly enhances the effectiveness and relevance of research outcomes. Establishing similar integrated frameworks could accelerate translational research, improve patient-centred innovations, and position UTM as a hub for biomedical and health-related research in the region. This commitment reflects UTM’s broader strategic direction toward global eminence. By building enduring academic and research networks and pursuing excellence through international partnerships, the university continues to position itself as a key player in shaping the future of biomedical engineering. As biomedical engineering continues to evolve, so does the need for global cooperation and this effort under the Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility programme exemplify how shared knowledge, resources, and values can lead to meaningful breakthroughs in healthcare technology, benefiting communities far beyond national borders. Through this journey, Dr. Asnida reaffirms the belief that science thrives in collaboration, and progress is best achieved when institutions come together with a unified purpose: to create a healthier, more connected world.
