UNAIR NEWS “ Airlangga has partnered with another international university to strengthen collaboration. Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan on Friday, March 1, 2024, at the Bali Room, ASEEC Tower, Dharmawangsa B Campus, UNAIR. The MoA focuses on future collaborations, particularly for the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) and the Faculty of Advanced Technology and Multidiscipline (FTMM), including joint classes, student exchanges, and community development initiatives.Ìý
The signing ceremony was attended by the Dean of the College of Science and Engineering, Prof. Wu-Yuin Hwang Ph.D., along with his team; the Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), Prof. Miratul Khasanah M.Si., and her team; the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Advanced Technology and Multidiscipline (FTMM), Prof. Dr. Retna Apsari M.Si., and her team; as well as the Vice Director of Airlangga Global Engagement (AGE), Dr. Dina Septiani Ph.D.
“I know that 51¶¯Âþ’s medical school is excellent. There is also the Faculty of Advanced Technology and Multidiscipline, which is new. I am very pleased to have the opportunity for further discussion. As the opportunity for collaboration is wide open,” said Prof. Hwang.
Invitation for Student ExchangeÌý
Prof. Dr. Retna hopes that these discussions will lead to collaborations such as community service, joint classes, and joint research. “We have five study programs: data science technology, nanotechnology engineering, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, and robotics and artificial intelligence engineering. Perhaps we can collaborate, starting from joint classes, joint research, and community service that we can discuss in the future,” she said.Ìý
“The joint classes provided by Airlangga Global Engagement are still open, so if interested, we can discuss further,” she added.Ìý
Prof. Hwang also supports student exchange between the two universities. Moreover, CSAE already has an international program, so exchange students do not need to learn Mandarin beforehand.
“Currently, 39 Indonesian students are studying at CSAE, and regarding expenses, there is no need to worry. Because we provide scholarships, especially for excellent students,” he emphasized.Ìý
Co-supervising opportunity
The meeting also resulted in a discussion on the realization of student co-supervising between the two universities. “I think we have similar research topics. So, we want co-supervising as we have just touched on those topics. Perhaps CSAE lecturers can come to Indonesia, or our students can go to Taiwan,” concluded Prof. Dr. Retna.Ìý
