Furthermore, Prof. Dewi stated that one of the strengths of FISIP UNIKOM lies in its extensive academic network at the national level. FISIP UNIKOM is a member of the forum of deans of communication, social, and political sciences throughout Indonesia and has established various MoUs with several universities. This serves as value and attraction for FISIP UNIKOM to continue to be trusted as a strategic partner in the development of academic cooperation.
Meanwhile, the Dean of FISIPOL UKI, Dr. Verdinand, expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the warm welcome given by FISIP UNIKOM. He said that the scope of the agreed cooperation covers various fields, with the primary focus on the implementation of the Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education), which will be implemented concretely through the MoA. He hoped that this cooperation could have a real and sustainable impact, particularly in improving the quality of learning, fostering research collaboration, and strengthening community service programs. This synergy is also expected to open up wider opportunities for students and lecturers to engage in innovative academic activities that are relevant to scientific developments in the social and political fields.
The collaboration between FISIP UNIKOM and FISIPOL UKI demonstrates the shared vision and commitment of both faculties, representing a strategic step in strengthening the national academic network while continuously improving the quality of the Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi implementation.
