Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI), known as the Creative\nDigital Campus, and Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) have opened\nopportunities for academic collaboration through the signing of a\nMemorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Widya Puraya Building, UNDIP,\nSemarang, on Friday (14\/8\/2026). This cooperation marks an initial step\nto encourage various academic activities, ranging from joint research to\nthe development of lecturer and student competencies.<\/p>\n
The MoU signing was attended by leaders and academic representatives\nfrom UBSI, including Candra Agustina, Head of the Accounting Information\nSystems (SIA) Study Programme at UBSI Solo Campus, who attended as a\nprogramme representative.<\/p>\n
Candra said that the cooperation between UBSI and UNDIP has great\npotential to be developed into more concrete academic activities.\nAccording to him, an MoU should not stop at the administrative aspect,\nbut should become an entry point for building collaborative programmes\nthat benefit both universities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis MoU is an initial step to open up broader collaboration space.\nWe hope this cooperation can be followed up through real activities,\nespecially joint research, scientific publications, seminars, and\nvarious other academic activities,\u201d Candra said in a release received on\nThursday (20\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
According to Candra, one opportunity that can be developed is\ncross-institutional research. Collaboration between lecturers from the\ntwo universities can bring together different expertise and\nperspectives, resulting in more comprehensive research.<\/p>\n
\u201cResearch collaboration is very possible to develop. Lecturers can\nexchange knowledge and expertise, then raise research topics relevant to\ntechnological developments and community needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the cooperation can also be directed towards developing\nscientific publications. Collaboration among researchers from various\ninstitutions is considered capable of opening opportunities to produce\nstronger scientific works while expanding academic networks.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides research, we also see opportunities to collaborate in\npublications. This is important for lecturers to continuously improve\nthe quality and productivity of research, while expanding networks with\nacademics from other universities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For the Accounting Information Systems Study Programme at UBSI Solo\nCampus, this cooperation is linked to developments in information\nsystems, information technology, data analytics, and business\ninformation management. Rapid technological developments require\ncollaboration space so that universities can produce relevant\nresearch.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe field of Accounting Information Systems continues to develop\nalong with technology. Therefore, collaboration with universities such\nas UNDIP is an opportunity to broaden insights and develop research that\nmeets current needs,\u201d Candra said.<\/p>\n
Not only lecturers, students also have the opportunity to benefit\nfrom the cooperation. Candra mentioned that activities such as seminars,\nworkshops, knowledge exchange, and involvement in research projects can\nserve as means for students to gain academic experience outside their\ncampus environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents also need broader academic experience. Through this\ncollaboration, they can be involved in seminars, scientific activities,\nand research, so they have the opportunity to build insights and\nnetworks while still studying,\u201d Candra said.<\/p>\n
In addition to research and publications, the UBSI and UNDIP\ncooperation also has the potential to be developed in community service\nactivities. Academic expertise from both universities can be combined to\nprovide solutions to various community problems through the application\nof science and technology.<\/p>\n
Candra hopes that the implementation of the MoU can be realised soon\nthrough measurable and sustainable programmes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hope is that this cooperation does not stop at the signing of\nthe MoU. We want concrete follow-up, whether in the form of joint\nresearch, publications, academic activities, or community service,\u201d\nCandra said.<\/p>\n
The UBSI and UNDIP collaboration is expected to be a strategic step\nin expanding the academic networks of both institutions. From the signed\nMoU, opportunities are open to present various collaborative activities\nthat not only strengthen institutional relations, but also contribute to\nthe development of science, innovation, and community needs.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ubsi-and-undip-open-academic-collaboration-opportunities-1787205118", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
