The event was held offline at the 2nd Floor Hall of the M. Sartono Building FISIP UNS and online through a Zoom Meeting on Monday (29/5/2023).

This activity was opened by the Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs UNS, Prof. Dr. Ir. Ahmad Yunus, M.S. “The holding of the International Guest Lecture is a form of research collaboration established between FISIP UNS and the UUM School of Government.

Prof. Ismi as the Dean of FISIP UNS explained how leadership can grow international research networks and how to grow international research networks. She said that several previous studies showed that leadership was a central factor in encouraging the creation of a strong international research network. This is because a leader has the ability to create a conducive environment for every academic community to conduct research and facilitate various opportunities for cooperation, as described in the term “Corporate Environments Impact Individual Creativity”.

“We have agreed that international research collaboration is one of the ways that we can do so that universities continue to exist and have an impact in the era of internationalization of higher education which has been particularly occurring in ASEAN countries for the last two decades. Besides encouraging this process, this international research collaboration can also provide other benefits in the field of higher education,” Prof. Ismi said.
