He stated that BINUS is holding international conferences throughout\n2026, starting with the ICOBAR (International Conference of Biospheric\nHarmony and Advanced Research) 2026 in February, organised jointly with\nthe Korean Institute of Information Technology (KIIT).<\/p>\n
This conference features hundreds of global research contributions\ndiscussing issues of technology, governance, business, and\nsustainability, as an effort to promote innovation relevant to industry\nand societal needs.<\/p>\n
That momentum, said Juneman, continued on Thursday (26\/3), with\ncollaboration with the Endgame podcast hosted by former Gita Wirjawan,\nto host a visit from Prof.\u00a0Gi-Wook Shin, the William J. Perry Professor\nof Contemporary Korea and professor of sociology at Stanford\nUniversity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe phenomenon like \u2018Kabur Aja Dulu\u2019 cannot be seen merely as a\ntrend, but also as a reflection of the need for a more supportive\necosystem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that what needs to be encouraged is not merely the movement\nof talent, but an empowering brain circulation, so that Indonesian\ntalent continues to have a role and contribution to strengthening the\nnational ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The collaboration between BINUS and the Endgame podcast aims to\nsupport the dissemination of academic ideas to a wider public space.\nThis collaboration includes media support, strengthening public\ncommunication, and talent development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the BINUS 2035 Vision, we are committed not only to\nreleasing graduates into the job market, but also to building an\ninclusive research ecosystem so that innovation does not merely become a\nforeign commodity, but a real strength of the nation that can nurture\nand empower more humane, supportive, and dignified Indonesian Talent in\nthe circulation of international and inter-regional opportunities,\u201d said\nProf.\u00a0Juneman.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/binus-strengthens-academic-and-industry-connections-between-southeast-asia-and-korea-1774662672", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
