The visit was led by the Dean, Prof. Dr. Ir. Sitti Nurani Sirajuddin S.Pt., M.Si., IPU., ASEAN.Eng., as an effort to strengthen educational quality through benchmarking and exploring academic collaborations.
Prof. Sitti Nurani stated that the Faculty of Animal Science and Fisheries in the University of West Sulawesi is relatively new, only 13 years old, and therefore requires significant learning from more established universities. She hopes this visit will be the first step in encouraging lecturers to pursue doctoral studies and opening up opportunities for collaboration, such as public lectures and other academic exchange programs.
