Faculty of Animal Science UGM continues to enhance its collaboration with Aeres University of Applied Science (AUAS). This follows the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreed upon by both parties in 2022.
On Monday (June 24), a representative from Aeres University, Daan Westrik, visited Faculty of Animal Science UGM to continue academic discussions, particularly regarding the internship program.
The academic discussion at Faculty of Animal Science UGM was led by the Vice Dean for Research, Community Service, and Cooperation, Prof. Ir. Yuny Erwanto, S.Pt., MP., Ph.D., IPM, and the Head of the International Affairs Office at Fapet UGM, Prof. Ir. Dyah Maharani, S.Pt., M.P., Ph.D., IPM, and attended by several other faculty members.
In the discussion, Prof. Yuny Erwanto expressed appreciation and welcomed the ongoing strengthening of cooperation with AUAS. For the internship program, Prof. Yuny hopes the number of participants can be increased.
Next semester, Faculty of Animal Science UGM will send a student from the International Undergraduate Program (IUP), Zulfa Jihan Khalifah, for a student exchange program at AUAS. In return, AUAS will send two students for a three-month internship at Faculty of Animal Science UGM.
Last year, Aeres University also sent its students to Faculty of Animal Science UGM for internships at the Cage Free Training Center. Meanwhile, Fapet sent an on-going Ph.D. student, Yesita Vera Saraswati, through the PKPI program (Enhancing the Quality of International Publications), part of the PMDSU program.
Strengthening this cooperation is expected to enhance collaborative activities with partners in the future.
