This year, together with fellow members of the Nationwide University Network in Indonesia (NUNI) and other Indonesian universities, we promoted ‘Study in Indonesia’ through the active participation of national university leaders and representatives at the event.

Through active participation in this Asia-Pacific international forum over the last four years, we have further expanded our collaborations with academic leaders, policymakers, and industry partners across the region.

Prior to the opening of the Conference and Exhibition, Dr. Rini Setiowati, our Vice-Rector for Collaboration and Global Engagement, with the BINUS delegation, attended Partners’ Day hosted by Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, one of our valued partners.

“We truly appreciate the invitation from Hang Seng University of Hong Kong. This partnership gathering gave us the chance to connect more closely and strengthen our relationship, as we continue working together toward long-term collaboration in transnational education,” said Vice-Rector Rini in sharing their experience.
