The discussion on university governance was divided into 3 groups. The three groups were guided to the UMM Academic Administration Bureau (BAA) to talk about Creative Learning and Equivalence, the second group talked about Innovation Products and Important research findings guided by the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM-UMM), and the third group with the UMM Public Relations and Protocol team to talk about Image Building.
"Just to emphasize that, we often say when there are visits people see UMM from afar, what is seen macroscopically is its greatness. But if we look microscopically, we will see a collaboration, "said Prof. Dr. Syamsul Arifin, M.Si Vices-Rector 1 of UMM.
Syamsul continued, many products produced by UMM had been rewarded. For example, students were free thesis and various facilities as a form of recognition and equivalence of students' creative and innovative work.
"We actually have to exchange information in relation to rank. It is like the authorship of scientific papers, especially citations which are the needs of all lecturers. I think that innovative learning is still backing up the regulation by the Minister (Minister of Education and Culture). We need to find the object of cooperation that is leading together, "said Dr. Fauzan, M.Pd. as the Rector of UMM in his remarks.
Furthermore, Fauzan hoped that this collaboration was not just an institution but had to take advantage of institutional network collaboration. "In fact, I think in the future there will be a context of business plans in order to have experience. So if we want to collaborate, we must be thorough, don't just use the credit system. All that remains is to identify the potential, "said Fauzan. (win)
